most speak and crave after them 262's, but the potential a 254 has is huge, ported there is probleby more gain in an 254 compared to the gain we get out of a 262.Just wondering what saw you guys have that you feel doesn't get the admiration it deserves.
For me it is my 254xpg ported by @rattler, little saw just impresses me everytime I take it out, I know the 242 and 262 booth get a lot of desevered admiration as they should but the 254 kinda gets overlooked I think.
254 has probleby the biggest reputation as a reliable worksaw of them all in Norway, when I speak chainsaws with them old dealers they always praise the 254, and of course the new saws due their ergonomy, not once they've mention the more populare OPE saws like 346/357.
put Tecomec top end kit on a 42 Special a buddy of me own, without any modd I gotta admit it turned out to be a hell of a runner, seems them 242 Tecomecs are hot rodsHusqvarna 42 Special. I put a Tecomec 242xp top end on it. I bought it from a tree service, it was smoked pretty early on in life- and well preserved. I didnt get crazy with it, it was so clean I wanted to keep it stock looking as possible. I love my ms241 dearly, but it wouldnt keep up with this 42 by any stretch.
In all fairness, I did gut the muffler... and I think I did some stuffs to the piston skirt. It doesnt sound "stock," but isnt loud.. and does well as a small firewood saw.
