Kolbenschmidt cylinder info

[skippysphins]

Does anyone know if each Cylinder has a date of manufacture ? On the opposite side there are a bunch of casting Id markings anybody know what these are ? And what they mean .
Generally on the top of the cylinder right in front of the spark plug hole there seems to be a B Stamped ,but I also saw a c on a older one.
Ty for any info on the matter.
Chris

They used to stamp as Mike show pictures, it was very precise also back in the 80's and first 2 years in 90, I always loved those marking KS used to have!
I think they quit doing it, I got one originale 254xpg-98 that had KS jug without those famous marking as Mike show.

The "A/B or C" by the plug hole comes from when Husqvarna matched the cylinder with a piston of the same size so an "A" cylinder was matched with an "A" piston. Now they are still stamped but there is only an AB piston available.

So they are dates

Yes they are month and year.

As Mike say, the stamp show when KS made them.
If KS/Husky had some golden ones you can sort them out through KS month and production year, cool system if you ask me!

I've only seen once this didnt made sense but my thought about it is that the early owner sometime swap parts if he had to.

As earlier stated, luckily Husky has left this A B C nonsens, nowadays we get AB pistons and that is more then good enough for me, hopefully Meteor will start to make 262 AB piston also, just like they do for 254.

I dont know what the other stamps means on the foot, it make no sense for me since those jugs are stamped on top of the jug for the tolerance piston.

Magnus said those +++ etc was a tolerance they also had, ie there was several A tolerances, etc

262, Husky have never given us the options to choose if we want one A or B piston, from day one we only had one type piston to choose, the same goes to 242 and 254, we never had anything to choose between.

We are back to the 80's where Husly had different # for A, B, C.
