It is clean,finally a saw owner that took care of the tool.
to bad he tried to flush cut a big stump with it and burned it up !
the cheap kit seems to work ok,for the price WTH..

Here's a vid



Had to do a couple of small things to make it work....

First I ground out the roughness on the intake and exhaust, widened the ports about 1mm.

I had to re-tap the carb bolt holes as it appears the threads are cast and not tapped. I bunged one hole up so I had to helicoil it, I figured I would just helicoil both to make it uniform. The thing actually runs suprisingly well. I'll take it up to get a load of wood with me one day and we'll see what she's capable of.

Oh, and I know I have the L jet a little lean.

I to was curious about Huztl. I ordered and is in the mail, a piston and rings for $10.50 s&h included. He has great feedback on this stuff. I have a Husky 55 (paid $20) that needs some help and I don't want to spend a lot on it. I just want to get it running and dog the p*ss out of it to see if it holds up. I wasn't going to say anything on here till I did just that. Most of my saws I buy cheap enough that they are an experiment. I hope everything goes great for you. You will probably have yours running before I get mine going.

So, cajunhillbilly, how did yours fit? Have you had a chance to try it out?
Sounds like it would be worth trying if you guys are having good luck.

I've used a couple of their kits in customers saws that requested a cheap build. If you touch up and debur the cylinder it is usually ok, not factory quality but ok for occasional use.

When they have a "make offer" listed don't be afraid to low ball them, I'm talking 60% off, I think they think you have their money and they want it.

I do want to add I am not endorsing them nor do I recommend using their products if you make a living with your saw. The kits IMHO are designed for a guy that cuts 3-6 truck loads a year.

Thanks for the info barneyrb, I was thinking of getting one of their husky 272 p/c and air filter along with a few other pieces like their top cover, recoil cover, plastic handle chainbreak(the one i have is a steel handle one) etc to restore and upgrade a 266 to a 272, do you think it might be a waste of a working 266 and money?
I've seen a few threads where members are suggesting this upgrade for the 266.

I hope to have it all back together next week sometime, maybe I can get a vid put together.


If anyone has any input I would like to hear it.

My neighbours son in law straight gassed his Husky[ can`t remember the model other than it was 46 or 48 mm bore & had a de comp valve] kit came complete with all parts, gaskets valve. even cylinder holding allen bolts, including shipping was 46 euro`s. re built some 20 months ago, & on pain of death was instructed to run it at 40/1 gas oil mix. He has cut some 8 cubic metres of wood since it was rebuilt & to date is running just fine.I am not able to judge if this kit was as good as OEM,as I have never handled Husky oem pistons/cyls, looked as good as Homlite oem cyl`s/pistons that I have had dealings with, & tolerances were in the region of best OEM To me it seemed a value for money kit.

I know an old thread but....

So what's the verdict on these Huztl P&C kits? Do they hold up after some use? Someone with experience please give me an idea on whether or nor these are a waste of money/time.

 

[fearofpavement]

I've used them and would again in the future.

How much use have you put on some of their kits? Any pieces in the kit you would recommend reusing the OEM part instead? Such as wrist pin, oil seals or circlips?

I wasn't impressed with the circlips but they are different than the oem ones. (thicker)
I didn't use the compression release (put in a plug)
I used the seals and bearings, piston and cylinder and rings. Also came with a spark plug, fuel filter and some other bits that I don't remember.

i have another one in stock waiting for the next 029/MS290 to show up needing an engine. Overall I thought the quality was pretty good.

I ran several tanks through the saw before I sold it and haven't heard back.

I have a 029 that I'm wanting to put a new P&C on. I don't think the one I am looking at has the compression release hole. It's the stock 46mm kit. I am going to fix the saw for resale and don't want an unhappy customer. I wouldn't put anything out the door that I wouldn't use in my personal stuff so I wanted a real world opinion on these. I appreciate your help.

Caber rings with these kits add about 15psi comp.... So I've heard...

I don't think you'd find many rebuilt saws for sale with Oem p/c kits these days, especially with a/m availability, plus I don't think you'd turn a profit using Oem...
