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

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.

Ida know, but it makes you happy!

How does the starter work?

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?
