    Thats what i thought and how I thought I have done it in the past but when I went to edit the post I put the cursor after than and hit delete or backspace it just skipped over them and started deleting the text and left them to stay.

    Maybe its a mobile issue and or chrome browser thing?

    I don't remember seeing anything that looked like that. That site says it's for the 136 and 141.

    That part should be replaced often, otherwise you will cook the saw because of air leaks. Do what you want/think is best, I am just warning you!

    After tinkering with a bunch of stuff on that 141 a vacuum/pressure test showed that poorly engineered part to be leaking.
    It's somewhat of a head scratcher what they were thinking putting a piece of rubber tube on a the impulse line and expecting it to hold pressure against the jug port while being slid over a piece of rigid plastic on the other end.
    Probably a whole bunch of saws with this cheap design - in the trash.

    I guess if they last the 100hrs of described durability you've made out ok, but for the average homeowner saw these things see 5hrs in 10years and are useless

    I rebuilt the carb on a 242 I think it was. That saw was a joke!

    Carb kit ended up going for $0.01 on eBay and $2.30 shipping... from China. Not sure how they could make any money at that price?

    I think I'm going to put the carb kit in, fix the muffler, sharpen the chain and list it for sale. It would make a decent little saw for cutting brush and a bit of wood here and there.

    Where does it live at? It's not part of the carb. The carb has a fuel line, choke and throttle linkage and that's it. It bolts to the side of the cylinder. This is the first Husqvarna I've worked on. That goofy outboard clutch alone is enough for me to never buy one!

    Either way put it together today and supposed to be sold tomorrow. I put about $10 into it and have a $50 offer.

    I had one that ran very poorly, I sold it as it wasn't worth putting time & money in.
