Got it! Both needles were a little rich. Cuts like mad now!

There they are 3 saws from 4 bone pile saws. The next load of wood I go get these will see most of the action.

Looks good, you have enough room to do a top outlet like on some of the 3xx series for a dp muffler now if you wanted to.

Agreed. My 362XP has that top port. I bet the deflector and screen are still able to be found unlike the 162 and 266 muffler parts, all unobtainium.

It is a bit sad that you had to use Chinese aftermarket clutch covers and chain brakes though - so getting some original working ones is your next project!

See what I mean? Gold plated I guess.

I just gave the 266 a little work out cutting this white oak stump off.

At symbol plus the user name sends that person a notification they have been tagged. I'm tagging him so he looks at this thread. Kind of like shouting "hey you" across the Internet.

Oh, thanks for the info.

salvaging a chain that came with my 268,266,162 husky frankensaw project.

what 3/8, .050 chain is marked 9L on the drive links? looks like Oregon 72DG semi chizek but none of the cross reference stuff I have leads me to what brand the chain is.

does anyone here know?

The 268 is about to get its first workout. Tree went right where I wanted it.

[briantutt]

She made short work out of that one! Runs great, only bumped the idle up a bit once she got warmed up.

Strike one for the Chinese parts. The 268 muffler popped open and started to melt the cover. I guess the brazing torch goes back into play. might as well dual port it while I have it apart.

now I need a 268 and a 266 top cover

That's about normal for half the saws out there. I wouldn't sweat it.

At least I would rather keep it as is than put a Chinese aftermarket part on the saw - but people are different.

Agreed, I just wish I would have noticed it. oh well, from the top it doesn't look that noticeable.
