Well that "vent expansion tank" they call it is still available through Husky. My dealer will order it Friday and I'll have it early next week. So long as it shows up tragedy averted. I'm bummed it'll be a few more days til I can put it in some wood, but could have been something unobtainable.....
 
Ok, here are the last carb pics.

I don't understand why I can't make these images bigger? It must be how he's sending them to me off his phone.

If you rick click 'view image' and then hold down CTRL while punching '+' repeatedly.....they blow up OK. I think your answer is in the first pic?

Well just got call from dealer, although that part shows as available when he placed order it says no longer available. Soooo, guess I gotta source one online.
 
The plumber in me would make one starting with SCH 80 plastic pipe and reduce/angle down.....can't be much to it unless there's some sort of a check valve inside.....which you might be able to reuse.

The Husky 2100 has an unobtainable tank vent. And the solution is sooooo easy(thanks Fossil).

There are probably several sitting in Tilton's warehouse. I heard at one point they were still holding all the old inventory.

Well.....what's gonna happen with that inventory, I wonder? OK, so someone with enough coin buys it, then what? Sells parts on eBay until they all run out.....not likely. I can't see any big cash return there.

Usually in cases like this, some big company buys the inventory and folds it into their existing biz.....I'm just not sure 'who' would do this. And I wonder if their inventory goes back to 70's saws or it's just the newer stuff before J'reds folded......

Prices like that always bring a story to mind. There was this old fella lived in Surry, the next town over and he had a real nice, stock 1954 Harley Panhead that he rode once a year down the street a couple miles and back. This was in 1989, the first year of the Harley Fat Boy and we had a guy from away with lots of money show up in town. He had connections I guess as had two Fat Boys in factory crates delivered to his house. That first year the Fat Boy only came in silver so he unpacked one of them and got it going, rode it around proud as could be. One day he stops into the old fella's place because he had the panhead out putting another coat of wax on it. So Bruce talks with the old guy for a bit and then asks "Tell ya what......I'll swap you even this brand new, first year Fat Boy." The old fella scratched his chin a couple times and says, "Can you get any more of them?".......Bruce smiled and said "Yes I can"........the old fella looked at him a minute and said, "Well, thanks for the offer but I guess not.......' cause you see.......you can't get anymore of these" The old fella told me this story himself.....slapping his knee and laughing heartily.......when he ended the story saying "And I sent him down the road!!! LOL!!!
