Hi, Gents! I seem to enjoy trying to make old, worn out stuff useful again. I figure there are quite a number of you who get a charge out of it also! SO! The new project is a Husqvarna 162 which will be the firewood saw for next year (at which time the ancient 041 Farm Boss that is towing the line will undergo surgery). Everything seems to be in order but compression. Good spark, seems to be getting fuel (there's a nice "fog" in the cylinder when I pull the plug) but it doesn't pass the "lift the saw by the starter rope" test.
In going through all the posts regarding this saw, I understand it is closely related to a large family of husky saws. In fact, it has the same bore and stroke (and, obviously, displacement as a 61). So here's question... where might a fellow get some rings for a 162? Are they the same as a 61? OR MAYBE I can set it up with a piston and jug from a larger saw and do a "Frankensaw" number on it.? I've got time to play with it and I'd LOVe some input. Thanks, folks!
