Smoked a Boston butt for the Xmas party today, and just when i finished pulling it, one of our guys asks me to look at his saw. Now my hands smell like hickory, pig, and bar oil! That must be what heaven smells like...

Anyway, he has a Husky 142. I told him I'd adjust the carb, but there are no slots on the needles!

His carb is a WT 834, and I have some needles from a WT 350. I looked up the IPL at Walbro, but they don't have a part# for the needles. Anyone know offhand if they'll swap out? I'll bring the needles and a set of calipers tomorrow anyway, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

If they don't swap, I'll see what I can do with the limiter caps I have.

If heaven smells like barbecue and chainsaws, hell is a place where you can't adjust your carb.
 
I took the needles from my dad's homelite pro20 and cut a slot in each one with a dremel tool.
