Be careful with your wire routing

Both wires should be under the clip, but above the air conductor. Here's a pic of one of my clean ones.

@Spike60 I didn't like the kink in the wire right where the eye is crimped on so I stuffed it through the hole where the clip is. Also pretty much guarantees the wire can't get over under the screw.

Doesn't matter what you like, that's a violation just the same. Gonna have to give you a demerit.

Red Repped his ass.

Couple of service bulletins I thought would go good on this thread. Most will already know about the changes, but it's sometimes helpful to know the serial number breaks when they happened. The auto deco was an idea that didn't work to well. A year or so before they bagged it altogether, they tried an improved valve. But they just got rid of starting with this.

 

[Spike60]

There were also parts to convert existing saws to the normal valve, or just use a plug. I converted every one I could get my hand on.

i would also add to the carb update if you are drilling a hole in the cover you can leave out the plastic ring you just need shorter screws for the cover
