Was told this is the best place to post for these as I have a few questions.
I'm working on getting this saw up to snuff as I said in another post to act as a limbing saw until I can save the coin for a more permanent light duty firewood saw.
It's missing a bar nut.. Can I use any nut the right size for this or am I paying $2.45 for two nuts?
Will this bar nut missing cause the chain to pull to one side more? I took off the old bar and it's bent like a banana with one side of the bar looking slighly thinnner than the other. I have a new Oregon 18" bar for it and a new chain as well. Pretty sure the bar was burnt and worn from trying to cut with dull chain and running it in too big of red oak.
Bar is an oregon with low profile/kickback tip. Can I put a full comp full chisel chain on this bar or is it even worth trying.

Does the idle adjustment affect the Hi/Lo on this carb? The throttle trigger was only going about halfway down with the engine reving up and then the engine would drip to idle and rest of throttle trigger would have no affect. I adjusted the Idle and the problem with throttle trigger went away and now full throttle works.
What's the best way to fix the droppy starter cord. Searched for drooping cord but only found threads for replacement. I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix but any help is appreciated. When it stalls it seems to suck the cord back up.

This saw is only about 4 years old. Is it worth replacing the fuel lines yet. I did pull out the fuel filter from the tank and will replace it but the line didn't seem bad or weak walled.
It was also suggested to adj carb on this or do carb kit if it seems spotty once fuel filer etc is done. Is there a best place from one of the sponsors to get the kits for this. One site says it's a Zama W-26B.
Also gas cap seems to aspirate a lot of fuel and heard that is a common problem with these, along with being a bear to open and shut. Does it need replaced?
Any help on this is appreciated. The poor saw was rode hard but trying to get her back to nice and then teach my step son how to take care of it. We've got my 70cc saw now for the big stuff.
