I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
They do pretty well.

not quite, just VERY low hrs. I went right through it, cylinder and piston look like theyve done bugger all. All machine marks still there etc.

will a husky 268 pull a 32 inch or 36 inch bar and chain? they don't seem to make longer than 28 inches for my 362XP. what groove width on long bars? .050, .058, .063?

They are about as cool as 254's...I have a 154se how good were/are they?
I also have a 371 w/372xp top end, not bothered about hearing about that as I know how they are rated.
Not much on this 154se though

After being a stihl guy since day one, it doesn't rip as much as my 461 did, but it's smooth as butter.

There isn't much difference between a late 154 and an early 254 - there were more differences between different "generations" of the 254.

Does anyone remember the Husqvarna 140S? I have one now and I am going to try to get it going sometime soon.

I put a big bore (huztl) kit on my 50, along with the decompression valve, but the decomp interferes with the chain brake flag/mechanism. Is this a common issue? Do I have to get a 55 clutch cover/chain brake?
Do you need a decomp on a sub 70cc saw? If not plug it with a bolt and a compression washer.. that's what I would do. (making sure it is short enough to no interfer with the piston)
Never used one on my old 254xp that I think would have been a tad harder to pull. Nor on my current 038mag and 044. they are both 70+cc and start easy without a decomp.

Its had the base cut, and squish is just under 0.020" the timing has also been advanced a few degrees. I'm fairly certain that without the decomp the starter wouldn't last very long as its just plastic. I had it plugged but couldn't turn it over fast/even enough to get it to start originally.
I recently acquired one, neat little saw, kind of heavy but seems very solidly constructed.
Mine runs but unfortunately is missing the entire clutch and cover, along with the threaded end of the crank...
They are an absolute beast! almost 100 cc saw. What does 100 euro's convert to in dollars? A 298 complete and running for under $200 dollars is a great deal. Figure they are the last of the 2100 class saws and there is a following for those big saws.

That's a tough one to fix, maybe you can find a parts saw.

Mine has a slightly scored piston and low compression. It shows 130psi on my gauge but I think my gauge is reading about 15psi too high. I found a NOS piston and cylinder on eBay for $135 but I don't believe it's worth putting that much into it.
