hope Tor is around still, but I hope someone can answer my question. I bought the 42 Special from somebody on the site knowing that the piston was bad and thinking that somebody made a piston for it. My ignorance! The saw is in pretty good shape so I'd like to keep it going. After readin 23 pages of Tors thread, I still have that question. What piston will fit in this thing? The piston itself was 35mm in height. The jug said Gilardoni 6, not 241A. Its a 1993 Special. Closed window or open? Its got a closed on it now. Ebay has a 242 Meteor piston that is closed but will it require some work to get it right? Base gasket delete or machining the base? Or does an OEM 42 piston go in it and the difference between a 42 and a 42 Special is the ports. All help would be appreciated.
