125-200cc OEM 144 Kit Fitment

I did quite a bit of digging around cross referencing part numbers etc, and it appears (please correct me if I'm wrong) that the difference between the 09 and up 125 cylinders and the earlier ones is the power valve itself, my question is, if the entire cylinder/power valve assembly is used can one of the OEM 144 kits be installed on an 02 bottom end, or is there a difference in the valve actuator as well?

Thanks

Rodd,

No issues making the change but you will need to make sure you have the correct power valve retaining collars. The 02 cylinders I believe used a collar that is meant for a power valve with a smaller shaft diameter. The powervalves themselves have a step down in the shaft diameter so the rest of the parts work with the new cylinder. Husky no longer makes the old collar like is in your top end so any part number you use for the collar will be superceded to the right collar for the new cylinders.

Thanks, so if that's the case with the old retainers, can the new valves be used in the older cylinders as well providing the new retainers are used (meaning are they backwards compatible as well?)

Thanks Again

No they are a different size.
