Husqvarna 261 max rpm?

[david newbie]

I just received a 261 that I plan to convert, although I may run for a little while as is. Seems to have excellent compression. I can't seem to find the max rpm for tuning by tach. I know lots of you do it by ear, but I'm pretty near deaf now, so just looking for a number I can use with a tach. Thanks

Was that for a 261 or a 262?
