Thanks for posting that info Tor, much appreciated :)
Excellent info to have Tor, Thanks for taking the time to put all this together.;)
your guys are welcome anytime.
I've stocked up a decent amount parts the last year, I thought it was time to share my search strings and give others a chance for NLA parts.

I'll try to add in ruffly prices to all those part numbers.

Question, should we add in a bit information for the classy 238 in this thread also?

242 went through alot updates through her 11 year production time, 87-98.
When I think about it, antivibs, trottle spring is those parts who did not got swapped out.

The most important update was when they changed the top end and introduced XP, I don't know exactly what s/n they had, around midd 1990 or late 1990.

The second big update was when they introduced a bigger conrod bearing, those are the s/n's :
42 4110291
242 XP 4130001
242 XPG 4110001

In around 1995 they started to upgrade the seals, I can't remember witch side they first put the new seal in, but 1997 had both new seals, and if my memory is correct my 1996 had the new seal types.
In around 1996 the piston gained a tad more weight.

Top ends...
There was 2 Mahle with very little difference until the XP arrived.
I've seen 3 different Mahle XP top ends, 1 KS XP top end, and there is one from Gilardoni also, 241 B.

Seems Husq 242 xp was produced even later. Please find ID61368202_1262842243891646_8258048471739662336_n.jpg

Now I feel qualified to be in the group! A friend mentioned being at an auction yesterday and I asked to check for saws. He bid and won the 242XP for me. Cleaned up nice and goes with the 42 Special I got about a year ago. Fun, Fun!
