Husky 266 sf?

[Mr.Moose]

I picked up a pile of saws today. There was a 281, a 288 corpse, a jonsered 70e, jred 801, and what i thought was a early white top rancher 61. Now that im home and looked closer, the tag says 266 sf
Ive never seen such a critter before. Is it the stepping stone to the 266 se and xp? This has the filter setup like a rancher

the tag says 266 sf

To these old tired eyes that looks to me like an SE with the bottom of the E cutoff. Maybe it's just the picture... :dunno:

That's what it is....That's an early 80's 266SE.

Yes to both! :agree2:

 

[Mr.Moose]

Yup! Feel like a tard now! Upon further inspection it is indeed a se with a clean cut to make it an f...i guess i gotta get some glasses. If the intake was like all my other 266's i prob woulda cought on earlier. Ive never seen a 266 with this setup before.

 

[jockeydeuce]

I could easily see making that mistake...No "tardiness" there.

That's a real early one....Looks like it may even be a mag tank like a 162.

 

[Mr.Moose]

Yup, metal tank on this hotrod
Gonna clean her up a bit and give it a good running. It does run, but is in dire need of a tuneup.
The top cover is pretty thrashed, gotta look through my pile of parts and see if i can locate one.

 

[Mr.Moose]

Felt really loose pulling it over, so i popped the muff to find it has a twin thin ring piston. No damage, just worn rings i guess. Im gonna assume these rings havent existed for the last 20 yrs eh? Does anyone know if a later style 266 single ring complete piston will work? I would assume it would but before i tear it apart.

Any 266 piston will work.....Forget about the thin rings....Well worth fixing. They are good saws!

 

[Mr.Moose]

I hear you on them being good saws, i have several 266's i use reguarly.
10-4 on any piston working. Didnt know if the early ones sported a different rod or something silly like that.

I fitted a top cover from my one of my "newer" 266 and although shaped a little differently than the white one it had on it it fits

Where are the pics of the rest of 'em? 281/288 in particular.

Well, heres the 281 it needs the top cover screw holes to be helicoiled and the front handle has a pretty good tweak to it, but runs n drives.

Jonsered 70e, runs mint! Even has a working chainbrake. Appears a spraybomb exploded near it

Will have pics of the 801 tomm, it isnt with me right now. I will say its pretty nice, prob the nicest of the lot.

 

[jockeydeuce]

Probably some goodies left on the 288 and that 281 looks pretty cherry!!!

 

[Mr.Moose]

Heres the 801, or atleast i think its an 801? Maybe an 80? There is a "p" above the gas cap which i know can indicate what model, but i dont know what codes correspond to what models. Anyone know?

The carb on the early 266SE saws was the same small one (HS-163 - 15.9 mm venturi) as on the 162SE and early 61 - so you will gain some performance if putting a 17.5 mm one on there. Husky started to use the 17.5 mm HS-224 on the 166SE some time in 1985.

That is an 801 if nothing has been swapped out - and I do know what tose letters mean.

The P is for the 80, 90 and 801.

Iv,e got the same old white top rancher and fought that
lousy walbro ws oddball carb finally fit a tillotson on it but had to make spacers

someone posted about the L idle screw needing alot more initial juice with a muffler modded
exhaust and that was the trick needed to get it running and tuning thanks to that poster
