I have three of the 75cc cylinders and all mine say:
50ZK6
W6+
Are you sure yours says "T" and not "+"?
Mahle usually marks an oversize cylinder with a + sign.

Rechecked mine and its the same as yours.Is it the one with the good port timing?And I have seen some with 372xpw and 375xp on the recoil cover.Did they make them both ways?

None of these belong to me personally. One is off my brother's saw, two are already headed out to or are committed to customers.
The 375 recoil logo was available from the factory after the 372XPW was already introduced. People have been buying the stickers
and retrofitting. I haven't seen a 375 chainsaw sold new in a dealership, or one marked as a 375. I've only seen the 372XPW.
These run ok stock but like Terry said, they run a lot better after they've been worked over.

I have the 372xpw on the recoil now but also have the 375xp decal.I will be trying to port this one myself with some help.Already have the triple port muffler figured out.One on the top one on the side and one on the front.
I just picked one up with a slightly different designation and am wondering what the variable may mean...
It's a 50ZK6 with a +A4 designation just above the main number and a 2H and a W1 sort of randomly stamped on the right side of the cylinder as you're looking at both sets of numbers.
I hope to use it one way or another on a 371XP I recently snagged that has some minor top end damage and could use a slight "freshening up." If it's indeed a BB cylinder, all the better!
TIA for any info.
If the cylinder is stihl on the chainsaw, you can measure the bore by removing the muffler and sticking a pencil in the exhaust and clamping just enough on the pencil with the piston to put a mark on it. Then measure the pencil to see what the bore is.
It's off the saw (and I use a swizzle stick or popsicle stick)...
When I said "I just picked it up", I meant I just picked it up! It's on the seat of my truck and that's why I haven't measured it yet or posted any pics.
More interested in clarification of the numbering than anything else at this point.
Well, what we have here is a Mahle 50ZK6 cylinder that is 48mm. Hmmm...

365
Yay. Can I use it as a BB upgrade on a toasted 262?
Boy am I glad I researched this and everything I read pointed to either a 50mm or 52mm jug.
Shoulda just asked you first.:msp_tongue:
At least it came with a muffler and the A/V spring.

The 75cc jug needs a good working over to make it a serious contender in my book.......
You're looking for this on your cylinder :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
You mean the blue ink anyone could put on it, or the rest of the saw?
Thought I did pretty well with just the muffler and a/v spring attached to it for 10 bux -- even if it is for 365.
No doubt 10 bucks is a good deal for what you got
