Sat in a guys garage for a while. Didn't want to deal with it. I messed with the switch a little. dumped the gas and put fresh gas in. It fires up. Fuel line is in real bad shape. Surprised it fired up. So replacing that. Also replacing the air filter which looks terrible. I want to convert it to .325 chain, as my 261 is set up for that. I have a parts 026 set up for .325. Can I swap everything over or will the sprocket sizes be different? I've never done anything like that.
picked up an 034

Change the fuel filter as well go OEM for line and filter run some Seafoam in your mix
I mix 32:1 for all my saws vintage and modern
Sprockets could be different size as there were a couple different clutch drums on those saws. There was a small inside diameter sprocket for some of them and a large inside diameter one.
Or you may have spur drives on them.

Rim sprockets come in three bore sizes:
Mini = 5/8" ID
Small = 3/4" ID
Standard = 7/8" ID
Rim sprockets are available in either 3/8" or .325" pitch (as well as some other chain pitches). You'll need to switch to a .325" sprocket. Unless you have a solid nose bar, you'll need to change the bar as well, so the sprocket in the tip matches your chain pitch.
There is also a spur style sprocket - which has what looks like a gear with big teeth as part of the clutch drum.
The bar for an 026 should also fit an 034. I don't believe the sprocket will interchange. If I'm not mistaken, the 034 takes a standard size. The 026 and 261 take a mini. (You should verify this before ordering, as I am not 100% certain.) Probably best to replace the sprocket anyway. They are a wear item, and many homeowner/landowner users run them far longer than they should.
