Is this the set? http://www.harborfreight.com/200-piece-assorted-spring-set-67562.html

I can measure the studs and then measure the bar slot. Thanks, guys!

Or very close to. There's one spring that fits nice and tight when screwd on to the stud, easy to cut also

Will a basic S clip work?

I believe I have seen people mention s-clips but, truthfully, I don't know what they are. Like so: http://www.niteize.com/product/S-Biner-Stainless-Steel.asp

Probably not.

just search on ebay, they are on there, i little high priced though.

Probably not.

An S clip is just a spacer that fits over the bar studs in the shape of a S so that a bar with a larger slot can be put on and the S clip will fill in the gap.

Hmmm. I haven't seen a picture of one of those.

I see these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chain-Saw-Bar-adapters-/282334144853?hash=item41bc6d2955:g:6XMAAOSwL7VWlstN

And these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannon-Chai...361002?hash=item43d5f4382a:g:~A0AAOSwWKtUs2dH

EDIT: Found it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HOMELIT...713744?hash=item2c9d207f90:g:UgQAAOSwHnFVkIGH

I tried making s-clips with windshield wiper strips but they were too thick. I found thin aluminum strips at lowes but they were to flimsy.

I know I saw a three (pair) pack of spring adapters somewhere online but I can't find it now!

Both looking really sharp. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing a vid of the 91 running.

I'm looking forward to seeing you run the 91 sometime if you know what I mean..

That would be nice. It's not easy to find GTG's within reasonable distance where the old chainsaw collectors are showing up.

The S clips were designed for a bar with a 3/8" slot, if your trying to use them with a large mount Husky bar with a 9mm slot, it maybe necessary to file the slot just a bit to get it to fit. Thats not a bad thing as you can get a good fit that way.

The S clips are ok, but really not worth tracking down as far as I'm concerned, the hardware store extension springs work really good and are cheap.

You don't have a pile of these laying around? i have several sizes, Homelite, Pioneer and Poulan.

I thought the D009 was supposed be 9.5 mm according the acres site. But the slot was measuring 9mm. I thought at first, I was nutty!

I do probably have 8-10 not on saws. Don't need them much anymore and I like using the springs anyway. A few years back I got the part number for the S clips and tried to get them directly from Windsor.

They transferred me to either there warehouse or vendor and I bought a bag of like 50 from them, and when they arrived they were a bag of ring/spring type stud spacers so even Windsor quit using the S clips it seems.

It's too easy now just to pick up extension springs from Sears, Menards, Ace or where ever and just clip a few coils off one.

You will learn to not put faith in anything you find at that site.

I have a Poulan 306A and the recoil seems to be slow at retrieving the starter rope. Anybody have experience with this and what to look for?

 

[Hoggwood]

Tonight. Needed fire starter noodles. Actually, more like needed to smell some 32:1. Fire starter noodle bin was empty anyways. Win-win. Ran a few tanks through one of the 3000's a weekend ago. I've been working a kitchen/bath reno for a fellow at night/weekends. He wanted some small silver maples dropped in his yard and cut up. He was going to hire a company. Poulan got paid that day instead.
