Is that a example of what you were saying about changing from standard 2 stroke mix to 'Aspen" Tor ?I just ordered a few 242 parts and a few service tools from my dealer.
While waiting for them, I have a few projects I gone try to get as close as possible to finish.
Up is one well used 2014 model who where carbon scored, paid 120$ for the project, luckily I got a 2012 freebie from my dealer who has a working p&c, not perfect but good enough for this saw. With luck, new head gasket, caber, carb read and a upgrade&flash, remove a bit castings, and that's it

Yes Simon, see it to often, going from pump fuel to alculate fuel can be a disaster. The alculate fuel tendens to losen up the carbon cake
I figure if its a "really" low hrs saw its safe but Im not recommending it on the older stuff unless the cylinder /muffler is cleaned out. Its ok as a lay up fuel ...just a little bit pulled through into the carb and the tank left dry for fresh mix when the saw is used again.

Happened to me a couple weeks ago. I may have said bad wordsStarted assembling another 372. Came to stand still when I figured out the rings I have are 1.5mm and I need 1.2mm.

You can flat sand them down to size.Started assembling another 372. Came to stand still when I figured out the rings I have are 1.5mm and I need 1.2mm.
Huh??
Never gave that a thought.
Make sure you mind the pin notch if you do so. You don't want it pinching at the gap if you take too much off the wrong side.
