Correct, Jonsereds have a straight top handle and Husqvarna is angled.

I’ve got two 50 cc saws set up with 3/8 on a 16” bar and I like em that way. A Dolmar 5105 and a Jonsered 2252. If the saw will pull it, I like 3/8 chain.

Allows air in.

Perhaps you nipped off more material than I did. I’ve done two saws and neither one leaks much. A little spot of fuel on the tailgate is all I’ve ever had. I was instructed to just nip off a bit of a corner on the duckbill. It didn’t seem like it was enough when I did it but it worked!!

Mine hasn’t leaked much and not every time I fuel. I stop short of filling it clear up to the neck and that helps.

Jacktheripper, Sorry about plugging up your for sale ad with our comments. I just realized we were posting all this on a “for sale” post. Maybe it has helped keep it at the top. 😊

No retuning necessary. It certainly didn’t affect mine.

It helps by allowing the tank to vent out. As fuel is used the design of the vent easily allows outside air in but the design didn’t allow inside pressure out. If there is too much pressure inside the tank it could push fuel through the carb and flood the saw. Mine definitely had the flood issue...

Posted a couple pictures of the location and on the gas cap is a pic of the duckbill vent with corner nipped. Hope that helps.

Good explanation. This modification removes the tendency to flood immediately. I’ve done several.

I’d say you’re spot on with Hickory.

That’s a deal. I have one and they are super smooth and torquey. Good luck with the sale!

Great idea!

Neat and clean! Great job.
