Yes they were great. Don't get me talking on them; cause I won't stop!

The NOS 272xp from mesupra just came in today. It ain't NOS anymore, and boy are those saws sweet. So needless to say, I want that one pretty bad. But, I have to limit myself....maybe?
Oh and BTW, great guy to deal with! Wouldn't hesitate to buy another saw from him

that 268 is very nice indeed... i'm more into the 3 series stuff, but for a shelf queen emergency saw, that 268 would do the trick

The only disadvantage of the 372xp vs. the 272xp is that the 372 has an inboard clutch, and doesn't handle as nicety despite it is a tad lighter.

Just to beat u to the punch Niko.....I believe parts are easier to get for the 3 series than the 2 series at this point....so there is an advantage towards 372.

I just did a total rebuild on a 272xp and the only thing I had trouble finding was the top cover decal. I found everything else just fine.

Well, both models still are made in Brazil, but at least the 272 isn't exactly the same as the Swedish made one.

I agree that parts likely are more available for the 372 though - but then you have to sort out which 372 it is, as there are several versions out there.

272 XP and the compression when I got the saw...



...it did run, not very well, though

A new ring and compression went up some (around 130 or so). I can live with that, it's not a saw I could sell anyhow - probably had a rough life.

Give it a base gasket delete should help you out with compression a bit.

Looks like it once left the factory as a heated handle one (xpg), unless the metal tank/rear handle is from another saw?

Good to see this thread back up and rolling.

Do 254's count? Built a few of those recently...then took the spare parts left over and built one for myself..... Turned out surprisingly well!
