Thanks JJ. Just did a search and came up with nothing!! Oh well....I got it now

Need a carb adjustment grommet part # 501 86 24 01. Thanks

I think they ran the same 42 piston in the 42 and special but when it comes to that I could be wrong. And the 42 and 42 special both were open port but maybe have a bigger port on a special?

Mines a 92 with starter cover decal. But to my question, how can you tell that it's a Special? The jug? It's just like if you had a 261 without the tag and put a 262 starter cover on it. You would have no way of knowing just looking at it.

I just went back and read the first page. Why does Husky do this to us?

Mine doesn't have special on the top cover but special on the recoil. So I guess my question is, how do you know you have a special and not a recoil with a badge on it?

Is that correct Tor? My 42 Special has the same tag

The tag says 42, not 42 SP

For lack of a better term

Here you go..

I'll get it tomorrow. Is that like a muffler pic?

It's not an AM cylinder, it's a KS. First time I've ever had this problem to this extent. I'm hoping it's the ring or cylinder. The only thing is the gouge above the exhaust port roof. Maybe that's making it so low on compression that it won't fire. I don't subscribe to the theory that 100 psi...

The kill switch is working. Passes a p&v test. I think it has to do with the compression/cylinder. I'll find out once I put on Steve's cylinder.

Yup

Read the first post...jeesh. The flywheel key is intact. I'll be putting on the cylinder I got from Steve. Something is wrong with the setup..
