First pictures are the open port cylinder. Well, one of them anyway. I don't think the part number listed above matches what's on my cylinder. The closed port I can't find a real part number on. Just the mahle info I believe. Those are the second cylinder pictured.

@S&S_Work_Saws I got a closed port 40 and 44mm cylinder

 

[S&S_Work_Saws]

I did some digging tonight in my piston pile and figured out a Stihl 028 with the smaller 44mm bore piston looks to be almost identical to the Dolmar piston but of course the Stihl slug has 2 rings. The ring ends look to be in good position also for the Dolmar closed port cylinder. Think I'll try to make it work and see what happens.

How does the starter work?

Ida know, but it makes you happy!

Normal recoil starter with decompression-valve.
The blue button in the center of the cylinder hood above the starter.

It looks like the starter pulley and pawls are behind the flywheel like the old Poulan 20.

Looks like servicing could be more of a challenge than normal?

Yes, the rope coil is behind the flywheel. This way the saw is pretty skinny.

Not really. How often do you need access to the reel?

It initially looked to me like the hole the rope goes through was part of the starter cover, and I couldn't think how that was supposed to work. It makes sense now.

Solo Twin and also the Poulan 245, 360. Probably others

 

[heimannm]

This is the Poulan 20, any starter work requires removing the flywheel first.



Mark

P.S. I forgot to post this earlier...

 

[heimannm]

The Solo Twin is so far behind the flywheel it comes out on the other side of the saw...

The string goes through the cylinder straight under the flywheel
