I have been sitting on a decent mine of 2-series parts including this 272.
Bit of background on it. I bought if running for $80, took it home, looked down the muffler and saw a decent amount of transfer. I removed the transfer and put a hyway piston in it. Cut with it and it was throwing sparks. Took a look again and the piston was scuffed. Tore it down and was a little confused. Looking into the cases it seems like there is some cancer around the bearing pockets, must have been pulling material in through the combustion is my only guess. I havent split the cases, but I may later on.
I sat on it for a while until HL supply had their cyber Monday sale. They had OEM Husqvarna 272 case sets with bearings and bar studs for 120ish bucks. However they were put of stock. I sent @Gentleman a PM, and he said he would order me what I wanted and honoured the sale price. Great guys to do business with.
Sorry for the rant. Here are some pics
