Class was in session over on chainsaw repair group by Todd.

Ok, 5200 has 2 different types first is the case for the center screw hold down and it has 3 studs with a nylon cap to line up the cover. Side note you can remove the studs and the screw on the cylinder and get the 3 bolt cover and use it. That is the early case.
Later 5200 case has the 3 screws that hold the cover.
Starter bolts are 10-24 counter sunk head. That is the easiest way to know what it is
5400 starter has been improved with 1/4-20 socket head cap screws. Everything else is the same.
8500 case has a different bolt pattern for the cover. Back 2 bolts are 12-24 and a little closer together. Starter bolts are the same as the 5400 .
That is about all i can think of.

  You could add,

Early 4200's and 5200's didn't have the strengthening ribs down the front of the case

6900 - 8500 series came with 3/8 bar studs. I heard some 4400 -5400 series did as well at some point but have never seen one.

The 8500 has an anti rotation bracket attached to the rear of the case to save the vib isolators from the ham fisted folks.
