Stihl 042 AV *Pics*

This one came from a dealers wrecking stock, It was just missing a few minor parts and needed a good clean, it's a good runner.

Nice old saw Wayne. I used one for years and cut a lot of wood with it. What size bar are you needing for it?

I sort of do, I've been selling off a few lately but I'll keep this one.

Al, I'm going to use the 20" bar from my 041 then get a 18" bar for my 041, but first I have to get a 3/8 sprocket for the 042, has a strange looking 2 piece 404 sprocket on it.

Once upon a time, I had one of these saws.
Yours sure looks alot better than mine did!
I got rid of it, cause parts were hell to find

Very nice, I'll just bet she runs as good as she looks. I'm kinda jealous.....

Is it a two piece spur sprocket setup? If so, it's the older style of sprocket that was put on these saws. They did make a rim sprocket retrofit kit. One of my 048s has the kit, and the other still has the two piece spur. The spurs are getting harder to find, even on eBay.

Here's the setup on my 048 Super:

Yes it's the two piece spur sprocket setup, I'll look for a rim sprocket setup.

Hi this is my first post on here i have a 042 just like that only it doesnt have the big knob in the middle of the air filter cover. Im having problems with it it starts and idles just fine but when i pull the trigger it will run at full throttle for a few seconds and then it will want to die out unless i let go of the throttle and then it will go back to idle again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way that saw looks awesome i hope i can get mine looking that nice. :msp_thumbup:
