Husqvarna 162, 2x 266, 268 Frankensaw Project

[svk]

Could anyone please supply me with the proper part number for the coil on the earlier two piece ignition saws?

Here is mine I have a lot of parts if you need any. Looking to sell if you know any other 266 lovers.

Do you have a coil for a 2 piece ignition?

Got a newer cover for the 266! Looks pretty good now!

Nice brian! Ive been looking for a top cover for my 266 and boy are they hard to find in decent shape!

I have put several tanks through all 3 of these saws this fall. Other than the 162 oiling too slow all are very solid. I am happy i spent the time on them.

Good to hear Brian! I finally found a NOS 266 top cover for 35 bucks on eBay! Score!

Shoot, I had a 266 cover that I gave away in the holiday giving thread last year.

I turned a 61 into a 268 with Huztl parts and worked out well. My only issue with it is the oil tank seems to empty itself when sitting. Any suggestions

In my experience that is normal for several of my saws. I got a roll of pig mat to keep the shelves from being a big mess but stopped caring about the leaking saws. Oh and make sure you have good sticky oil, that seems to help some.

Have you adjusted the oiler on the 162? It has a 4 position adjustment on the top right of the oil pump housing. These husqvarna oilers generally work very well, but they are prone to stripping the plastic pump gear and you need to experiment with the position of the adjustment.

 

[briantutt]

I did turn it to 4, however I too was thinking about that gear. I should probably just pull it apart down to that gear and check it. I don't really want to pull the oiler because of the crank seal but if it is that gear that would be pretty simple. If I recall one of the four gears looked different. Maybe I put the odd one in there and it is the culprit, I will have to check that.

 

[Griffdog1]

The four arms on the gear should be the same. If the threads are not meshing properly you can easily strip the plastic gear thread.

Picked up this 268 a couple months ago locally then got the 272 recoil from a fellow AS member. Put it together, no spark. Cleaned a Dixie cup worth of crud from around the flywheel and reset the coil with a business card and we’ve got bright blue spark. Need to clean the work bench tomorrow and find the muffler and see if we’ve got a runner. The piston is perfect and has lots of compression.

Got the saw running today. Runs great!! Just need a new chain tensioner bolt and kill switch.

One question. The plastic disc behind the rim/over the oil pump cover is sorta loose and spins. Is this supposed to spin or stay stationary?

 

[briantutt]

I am not sure how it is supposed to be new but those are loose on mine too.
