it's interesting to see that Husky also used Gilardoni on their 242, but then, they did the same on 262 also, I think they are rare.
I have one 242 xpg, serial 5410251, year 95 week 41, has Mahle cylinder

What year were the 242's that had the Gilardoni chlinders produced?

Cant tell you that I'm afraid..ST or Tor R may know.

Well it was a new one to me..never came across one other than Mahle. Did a low tech head to head with a 242xp with a M and the 242p with G ..G cylinder juuuuust felt like it had a wee bit more torque. Hey ..there good little saws regardless. 42 Special is excellent with a bit of gentle fettling though..have one as a day to day user.

Some models came with a full assortment of Mahle, Kolbensmidt (KS) and Gilardoni OEM cylinders (262xp and 670 Super/Champ are those I know of so far).

I haven't heard of a 242 with a KS jug yet (that I can recall), but I wouldn't be surprised if one or more turned up.

 

[Simondo]

Did the 254 xp ever have a KS cylinder ?? do you think this is one.
Had it in to give it the once over and thought it was a after market cylinder..maybe not. Sorry about pic quality.

That would explain why it was a strong running saw like my own 254 with a OEM cylinder once given some love.
Thanks both of you…(Sawtroll &Tor R) for some really useful info.

Love this saw. 288xp + cajones.

Elect (joe) worked it over. Jon the bar czar hooked me up with the sugi. It's no longer this pretty. Even if I don't need a big saw, I find way to run it.

That's a work of art.

You would know! I think you got a mantle piece a bit nicer

All this 42 242 talk made me run down to dads and grab his to see why cylinder it has. It appears to be Mahle. I have tried to trade buy and steal this saw from him but he will not part with it. He bought it about 20 years ago from a guy for 200 bucks. It has never failed and continues to saw great. I believe it is a 93 model and not sure what week.
