    Is there a specialty allen, or other trick to get the @&$%n bolt out without drilling a hole into the saw?

    Thanks for the replies. I will see if I can pick one up tonight. Struggled with a cut down Allen making a 1,000 .25 turns to get off. The carb screen was chock full of fines. This is my 272 that wouldn’t run right.

    They are pretty easy to find these days...years ago they almost had to be bought off a tool truck or specialty source like that.
    At least it turned out to be worth your effort to take that off! :thumbs:

    My FIL recently had me look at his Husky 55 (IIRC) to see why it wouldn't start...when I popped the cover off to check the AF there were 2 loose allen bolts laying down in under the carb...looked just like the ones you are foolin with there Chud...could not find any missing bolts anywhere though...seems like a weird spot to store your spares! :D
    Turned out the saw was just flooded BTW...

    The carb screen packed with fines led me to the tank to find the end of the fuel line had split and dropped the filter, so the bottom of the tank got vacuumed out.
    Went to Home Depot and of course I had to buy a set of ball drivers to get the one I need.

    Word of caution . Don’t get all crazy torquing things down with that ball driver . They tend to snap off right at the ball when they fail . If you are lucky , the ball part will stay in the fastener so you can get it with a magnet . If you are like me , you get to disassemble the saw looking for that little gem . And , it’s harder to do now that you broke your ball driver and have to use at cut down allen wrench to disassemble the saw . :thumbs:

    The saw fired up fairly easy this morning, so I’ll put it in some wood later today and report back.
