New here first post Husqvarna 266xp vs Echo CS620P

[Squareground3691]

Are they stronger than the 272? IIRC they generally have smaller combustion chambers like the 181 to the 288. I've never seen or ran a 266 in person, but I have ran a 272.

The 272 has the advantage in stock form , but ported it’s a different animal,

Yes that would close the gap by a decent margin. The muffler is super restrictive in both

But mufflers are super easy to mod.

There's a 266se available nearby with a $135 ask. Per seller it needs a p+c, "bottom end is good", and coil "has spark". I'm thinking about offering $100. How hard is it to find a p+c for these? Worth the Benjamin?
