Stihl MS192 TC Cylinder

[mitos]

Hello guys,

Time ago I have bought a used Stihl MS192 TC chainsaw. The TC version has the Easy2Start function in other words the cylinder has a pre-exhaust groove, which makes starting the saw easier.
A friend of mine has the MS192 T version and I compared the effort needed to start each of the saws, but I noticed no difference.
So I'm questioning myself if in reality the cylinder of my chainsaw is the one with the pre-exhaust groove (Stihl part number 1137 020 1204) or just a normal one used for a MS192 T version (Stihl part number 1137 020 1203)? Can anybody help me identify which cylinder is mounted on my chainsaw without dismantling the cylinder itself? I made a photo of the outside of the cylinder with the flywheel removed.

The MS 192 TC-E and MS 192 TC-E Z versions have the cylinder with the pre exhaust groove.
