Whats the results of your measurements on the 42 cylinder Tor ... What do you think you will do ?

Its a 92 jug their timings isnt like 241A Simon.
Not sure but will probleby end with IN 68°, TR 125-126° and EX 109°, that is without gasket and Meteor 242 piston.
Stock is around IN 61, TR 128 and EX 109 with gasket.
Stock 241A is around IN 64, TR 125,5 EX 107 with gasket.

lttle poulan saw of my sons. He ran my saw with a muff mod on saturday and keeps askin if his will sound like mine with pipe. So we fpund out today after he got home from school. When it was done and we fired it up he was grinnin ear to ear.
I was acually amazed how well that saw ran after it got gitted and could breath.

Got a 180 that seems to have an air leak when it's hot. Did a cold pressure and vacuum test and it passed both. Idle is erratic and when you turn it to it's side the idle drops. Also seems to run away a little. New carb, f/l is fine, new filter, pressure tested the tank and it was fine. Seems mysterious.

Stihl 041AV, gonna try to get it running again with a new set of points and condenser, wish me luck....Customer's right now but could be mine if I want it..

Update: I went ahead and bought the saw since it seems it's gonna be more long term than I thought. I installed the new points and condenser and, although it has a nice, hot spark, it still won't run, just popped a little. I'll be messing with the timing tomorrow if I don't get involved with something else..

Do they make a solid state ignition replacement for the points and condenser for those saws?

I don't think so. There used to be a company that did but think they went out of business. I think the name was something like Atom? I bought new points for it and they seem to be working okay, hoping it's just a tuning thing, maybe timing set too far in retard. I'll find out pretty soon, hate to give up on these things!
These saws have the multiple magnet flywheels and don't lend themselves to the Nova or Oregon modules very well..

Didn't get to works on many saws today, put a lightly used 24" bar and new chain on my 288, then I wired in some needed lights over my work area, should make things a little easier.

Make sure the flywheel did not cut the key.

I've had no end of trouble with those carbs over the years lol i just switch the metering spring into Chinese ones now.
Edit the little 170 180 fixed jet carbs i meant to say i swap them out for the 250 carbs now.

picked these up today to go on the bench and enough new full chisel chain to make a 98 DL for my 30'' bar

It's the C1Q-s57E, bout 99% of the new carbs I have installed have been trouble free. haha One thing is for certain....you get a tad bit of fuel pump gasket stretching and the issues start.
