Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Wow this thread used to be so easy goin. Now it's just full of tension. Time to loosen up guys.

If they loosen it up their chains will fall off.

There's something not right there. Tight chain, squished bar rails?

Tight for sure

 

[Haywire]

Oh, and the 262 runs!!!! Yay!

Put some gas in it, let it idle for about 30 seconds

Going to measure the squish

It had 200psi after letting it run a little!!

What kind of muffler mod do you have on your 262xp?

I’m not sure, it’s an empty can with big old discharge port. It was ported by Dr Al about 8-10 years ago. Ran real strong, then I was cutting in single digit weather and she went lean.

Had enough other saws I put it in the shelf for a bit


The video of the saw with the tight chain is a 562, its stock. Just pieced it together from two saws.

What’s the suggestion on the 562’s?? Drill a half in hole to add a dual outlet??

This one was done by Jason Egan in ID. Nate's old saw.

There are people out there that will pay good money for a really nice 272xp and pre x-torq 372xp. The 372xp will pull $500. The 272xp will do $450.

272. Cuz I already got the 372 project done

Awesome. I’ll pm you my address

Now that's gotta have a bark to it .
But I bet it woke it right up. Muffler mod is the quickest/ cheapest way to more power on the 550/562, when ported aggressively, they are down right violent .

Yea , it works well , thoes 550,562 are way to restrictive, no reason for them to be like that, but manufacturers think differently,

Good thing. We don't need a bunch of folks getting hit over the head with cast iron pans. Ouch!

I cut some fire wood yesterday. I was pretty amazed the saw even started and ran with a stock muffler.

Firewood pic so the thread name doesn't get changed to Husky repair (and other stuff).

So that's what farwood looks like after using square ground chain on a saw.
