I will say a service manual really helped with the overhaul! I think the only screws left were the bar studs.

Thank you! Yeah I noticed they made some of the same model saws for years such as the 041 Farm Boss for instance (have 2 of those) don't want to run those after operating one with AV! I too had a saw that I thought was the carb. and was actually crank seal...seems to be a relatively common problem. Many many parts to a saw the first one I tore apart I thought I would never get it back together.
