Here's some pics of what Jon has been doing.

First he heats one side so it's hot enough to just drop the bearing in the pocket.





Then he lets the bearing soak some heat out of the case half.....and then he slips the crank in.



Installs the gasket......




And heats the other half.



Slides it on.......bolts it all up.



And then centers the crank up with a brass hammer.

My 562 mmws run awesome its just a very smooth saw .
262 someone in this post got me hooked on them I can't wait to get my back to try it against the 562.

How do you identify the build date ? So I know . its a newbie question I know but ty

I only check the serial number, 1 is the year, the two next is the week.

Did you get into some of the non-decomp Mahle, Randy?

The only non decomp I have here is the KS.

562 will take the 262 stock. Ported???? Well that depends on a lot of variables.

I like the 262 myself....

Sir Randall,

Are any of those 262's from Utah?

One of them did.

I see what you did here

Thanks for the answer, me think the most rare jug was the Mahle non-decomp. I've only seen one, from earlier 93, unfortantly mine was scored...

Randy can get good gains out of any saw.

I have an MS390 that proves the above statement.

 

[Mastermind]

There's a few that I've yet to get the gains I really hoped for out of. One is the Dolmar 6400. It's a bad ass 64cc saw stock.......and huge gains ave been ard to get for me there. I get gains.......but I think I should get more.

 

[Tor R]

could those same gains be had with a257? since it is very similar to the 262.

I do get good gains with those too.

interesting, The guy I bought a few 262 had some 257 that I could buy later

What I've seen on those 262 I bought for a while ago.
Non-decomp Mahle 48ZK3
Decomp Mahle 48ZN15
I can only speak about those I got, 93 model are a very interesting year.

My brother just told me that his non decomp 262xpg one also has a Mahle - hopefully he will be back with the year, but since it has a HD-87 it obviously is an early one (likely 1991 or earlier)?

I found a really low hour 6400 here in Utah, but it's a little too rich for me(approximately $400).

If I can get it for a decent price, I'll be happy to send it to you, Randy, for research purposes.

if so, then I would think they mixed KS vs Mahle non-decomp from around 91

Serial number.

 

[Tor R]

I was also shocked when I saw a midd 93 mod with KS and a 87 carb

No surprice with the KS jug - but the HD-87 hardly is original to a saw that late?

That is according to IPLs, but they don't always tell the full story!

I have a couple of em.

 

[SawTroll]

Thanks so much for doing this, Randy.
I'm a big fan of 262, have 90,91KS, 94,95,96 Mahle + a new OEM Mahle. I may be the only one, but, I prefer the nice shine off the KS jugs!
Btw, all are projects waiting for your instructions

If there was a Gilardoni, it might be even shinier - they are on some other models!

the IPL doesnt tell the full story.
All KS jugs I've seen on mine they also have a 87 carb, I am almost 100% certain that KS=87.
But then we have your brother 262.
Hope you soon can figure out sn, jug and carb on that one for us Niko
