Husqvarna 266 question

[wcorey]

There are also 'tweeners that still have se on the tag but xp on the covers, as was typical I don't think it was a completely clean transition.

Lots of changes these saw's went through from inception to the end.

Here are some pics of my xp cylinder. It's all stock right now.

The open port version would be a 268, non xp

The 66 was also a 50mm open port.

 

[wcorey]

There are a number of various cylinders but I don't know what the actual differences are.
And there was a Gilardoni but was closed port AFAIK...

Info I have says Mahle 50ZN11 W2, 50ZN13 w1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10 and Gilardoni 5034479

Does anybody know when the 266se started and ended production?

 

[Sty57]

266se, 266xp and 268xp are quite similar.

Weren't the 625, 630 & 670 all in the same boat?
I know they had some differences between there Husky cousins.

The way the IPL's look, I'd have say. It was a rolling change in '86.
But that's all I have to go by.

Cool thank you very much Brian.

@SawTroll could probably add to the story of the 266 SE and XP.

Yep that would be great. I never realized how many different variants there was. So as I understand it 1986 was the first year of the 266xp?

I have 15 different IPL's just for the 266.
A guy would have to really study them to find the differences.

Wow that's a lot of material for sure. I was just more interested in the timeline for the 266se and the 266xp. Acres showed the xp starting in 1981, but I'm guessing that is incorrect.

88 mph...

Looks like the XP decal on the top cover came first. Then in the next they show the XP decal on the top cover and recoil.

In '88 ipl they show the first plastic chain break handle.
Changing from the old style metal one.
