A somewhat special case is the 365, as there are both open port and closed port versions out there - and you can't trust the "Special" designation to ID the closed port ones.

All 351s had 44mm open port top ends when new. What is in them by now will of course vary....

Edit; By now I know that some very late production 2149s came with closed port 44mm jugs of the same style as the 353 45mm one. This may then have happened to the 351 as well?

How did the 246 end up on the closed port list?

"Special" on a 365 isn't really about a closed port top end, but mainly about the side mounted chain tensioner. The closed port top end more likely was for EPA reasons.
I admit I don't know this for sure, but it is what the "evidense" I have seen point at. ;)

Yes, 51.7 (closed with dished piston) and 49.4 (open).

The 351/2149 used the same 49.4mm open port, and was discontinued (replaced by 353/2152) too early to ever get the "51.7/dished" option.

Btw, you are not "almost done", as a lot of models are still missing on the list, including some that have been mentioned in this thread!

They finally entered the list, but the xp designation on the 262 (and many other models) are still missing.

The 160, 260, 163 and 263 are still missing - and of course there were the 90, 100 and the 70.....

still need to add the xp where needed, regarding the 160 260 163 263 90 100 70, open or closed?................040

I assume closed, but can't verify it 100%.

Regarding xp, there were a few models that was non-xp first (not se either), then xp (242 and 254).

Also there were some older (1970s) models that there were both s and cd versions of.
