So I've bought a couple 100' rolls like this before all in a snare but always wondered how the heck people do it... Well I found out last night when a roll of Oregon 59, 404 .063 skip showed up last week and I opened it last night... picked it up from the hole in the center of the roll and the entire center section and top pulled right off the bottom cardboard piece of the roll. It of course collapsed into the middle creating a huge pain to re-roll.

Anyhow how mystery solved.

Lesson learned: Don't try to remove the roll of chain from the box by the hole in the top. Always flip over and dump the whole roll out.

there is a timing wheel on the 242, @David Young had a nice thread about linear measurement, both ways is what I will do

Here is the links for how David find timing numbers without using timing wheel:

That's the way I do it. Only I measure from the squish band with a micro ruler. TDC with a degree when can have its disadvantages when you consider dwelling distance trying to center it perfectly each time.

Nice!!
I recieved one as clean as that for free as the Steal dealer said it was too old to work on.
Needed a fuel and impulse line, I did a MM, very nice saw.
The saw had come from the prairies,, someone had ground the rakers completely off!!!

Not sure what those machines are, but it sounds good. Not even sure if this is even going to be a thing for me, that was the first one I ever did. Maybe I'll do another and see.

Metal etching the cheapo way

EDM machine the no cheapo way

Here's how it ran when I sold it. Now it is back for what I'm assuming will be a carb rebuild after using ethanol low grade.

I dont mind to use the degree wheel, but I also like to use David's linear measurement also, special on small jugs like the 242.
After I've figured out the squish with soldier I let them stay while I set the TDC

Bought this one on ebay Germany, got it in pieces. (unfortantly custom office where on work (as always))



I think there is hope for the jug... luckily I'm picking up a new oem piston tomorrow

The customs just do theirs work , you buy a saw 300 and you must pay another 300 customs

nah, if he had crossed the form as gift it would gone fine, but it was my own fault, I should had guided him.
7 kg package without any value or gift marking they all get stopped at the customs.
That said, I didnt buy the project for 300€

That piston is still very usable after a little clean up if the saw is a keeper.

oh yes it's an keeper, I like several Huskies but 242 is my favourite.

It look for me that it is carbon score.
What do your guys think?

It looks like a fuel slug got caught on the way out and cooked onto the piston.

low value and gift does the trick.
The limit is 40$, over that amount we have to pay 25% tax.
