Im looking for a drive sprocket for an old 042. Ive looked on ebay and the ones that they have on there arent the same style thats on mine. I think my saw is a bit older. If anyone has one or knows of a good place to find vintage parts i would be glad to know.

Well i adjusted my first carn today. Everything went ok. I took your guys advice and i think im in the clear. I adjusted it before i cut any wood. It fires right up without flooding. I took it out to the wood after i adjusted it there and fine tuned it while i was cutting. I think its...

:agree2:

Yes thats my thought too. But when the saw is out of the wood it doesnt seem rich. Thats why i was wondering if it can be rich on the idle end and lean on the high end.

Ok this may be a silly question. I know that a saw's carb has a low and a high screw for adjusting the carb. Does that mean that the saw can run rich at idle an too lean in the wood? I have a saw that tends to flood when started but never really strokes out when revved out of the wood. This...

Ive never seen those things before. Thats worth every penny. Although im sure once i get a little better at tuning the carb i wont have a problem. Ive always just cut untill i had a problem and took it into the dealer. But since i found this site i quit taking it to the dealer!

I would be happy with a part number also!!

Does any one know if a drive sprocket from on 048 will work on an 042? They sell a conversion kit for it but i dont want to do that to the saw. And if not does any one have one they would want to part with?

Thats the truth!!!

:agree2:

Just run Turbo Blue. It has no ethanol.

Now i need to find a new drive sprocket. Its not in terrible shape but id like to find a new one before it gets too bad!

Lookin good.:cheers:

So I have been searching for what seems like an eternity and its finally here!! I just got my very own 042. Its in excellent conditon. It started on the third pull although i think its running a little rich. The only thing i can see thats wrong with it is the wire that comes off the stop...

I definately agree. The processing equipment was awesome. I was in awe of the portable mills. I think this thread some how got alot of people worked up!!!:chainsaw:

Therefore the saws are made with less features, and at minimal cost. Quality compared to the pro lineup isn't "compromised", but done in a more economical way. The cats that buy "homeowner" grade saws expect exactly what the are getting from the saw. If they ever by chance run a "pro-level"...

You have to listen to the saw. There is a fine line between pushing too hard and not hard enough. The more you cut the easier it will be to hear it.

Thats not what i was saying at all. All i was trying to say is when i go to a show to see epuiptment i dont go to see the crap i can go and see in the local Big R. It would be nice to see all the big and baddest stuff thats out there. I am by no means a logger but i didnt see one feller...
