got over 100 saws. Could be one of you guys, and if is that's pretty awesome 
My son came home with this Husky... customer told the sales guys to "throw that piece of s.... away" while he was buying a new saw. This as the shop told him it had almost no compression and it would be expensive to fix. My son looked at it and thought "I bet my father can fix it" so he asked if he could have it.... The manager said "Yeah... I'd just throw it away." I pulled the muffler to look at the piston and cylinder walls. They were clean so I figured the rings might be stuck. I pulled the top cover, clutch cover, and recoil starter off, cleaned it up, put fresh fuel in it and had it running without too much effort. It wasn't running too well but it was running. The compression wasn't great so I let some Liquid Wrench sit in the cylinder for a short time and ran it again. It was better. After 5 heating and cooling cycles it's got plenty of compression. I sharpened the chain and cut some 14" oak and 6" maple with it.... the chain was a little hungry but it ran pretty good. I'm going to get a new air filter and then adjust the carb as needed.
The timing is perfect as my sons can use it to cut up limbs that have fallen due to the recent ice storm--there are 1,000s of them down on the 8 acres where they live. I'll put a Stihl Rapid Super chain on it if I can find one...Stocks of saws, chains, and bar oil are a bit slim in about a 50 mile radius due to the storm!

those are the small brother of a 41. One thing is usually quoted wrong is the bar type is NOT small husky but IS D041. A search on this forum several years ago will show the research effort and results. The oiler position is the problem. The small husky bar hole does not line up properly. Strange enough they are also shown as carving saws and 1/4" chain was another choice as the sprockets & bar are (were?) available. it's here:

Cool... thanks for the info. The bar on the saw is in good shape. It had a minor burr that a few draw filing strokes took care of. It is oiling well... It has one of those extreme safety chains on it so it won't be much good for plunge cutting per the GOL felling process but it cut 3-4" maple branches very well today.
I'm waiting for the air filter to come in to see if it runs better at lower RPMs. If not I'll put a carb kit in it... they are cheap so I may do it anyway!
The closer I look at this saw the more I'm convinced it has low hours on it and suffered more from lack of use than from abuse. We will see how it is after my sons use it for a while.
I want it! lets trade! lol

Unexpected acquisition today: A very old Homelite 24D120-2 DC generator. It was too cool to pass up.
No idea what this might be worth, but I paid only $20. I'm very happy with it. Might be a fun restoration project at some point?

6 caps to 1 gallon? Wow that's alot of oil. So is it 6:1
sweet find could be only one left.
10:1 per the tag on the machine... or 3/4 pint per gallon which is 12/128 = .094 or a bit under 10:1. The cap apparently holds about 2 oz. based on that... As you say, a lot of oil!6 caps to 1 gallon? Wow that's alot of oil. So is it 6:1

This is after a bit of cleanup, and the Sugi bar I had waiting for the right saw. Picked it up a few months ago for 2 bills, without any chainbrake parts (which is almost back together). Disassembled, cleaned, and replaced a couple of small parts, gassed her up and it fired up on the 7th pull. All oem from what I can tell with the original owner’s name inscribed from 1992.
which 2 bills were they?

That's alot of saw for those 2 rascals...the suck is there
A mini-suck for me to join the 2022 thread.
12 loops of used 105 DL, .063" Oregon 75 chain mixed skip and regular for $60
A couple only have a grind left on them and will be stumping chains, several haven't seen a grinder and the balance perhaps just a visit or two.

Killing time looking at some pawn shops at lunch I spotted this turd.... With a 30" light bar, large cover and dual spikes. Didn't know it at the time but it's a 2021 model. Runs amazing and the piston is perfect. Just filthy it seems. No fines in the carb anywhere.. $400 out the door!!

It's a shame what was done to this bar but it's ability to function safely appears to be just fine. Kind of a conversation piece.. "thanks grandma xoxo" and "let'r eat boy'z"
