Raffle 262 builds

[Moparmyway]

I was able to turn up that 346 a bit and shes rippin nice now that she's had 2+ tanks. I'll try to bring that 346 to the GTG

No Sir, try is not an option here.
Do
Do is what’s appropriate and necessary.
Do, Sir !

We’re planning on a 50cc showdown ........ that 346 of yours is going to be smack in the middle of it all !!!

Great work there Dan! Have to love a 262, what's your compression at?

I have not checked it yet, but it’ll bite ya if you’r not careful.

Given the "bites you if not careful" I'll guess north of 200 lbs.

Hi Kevin. [emoji57]

Sup bud !
This 262 really woke up during your tuning process ........... shows how much tune can affect the saws performance and perception. Great work !!

Thanks guys. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! It’s very snappy! Still need to advance timing, if it even needs it... and figure out why it’s stalling here and there.

Looking good Dan, really good.

Compression on a 262 with 30 out should be right around 200. 40 out will give you 220. Stock around 155-160 with .035 squish.

These are generalities of course.

@dustinwilt68 , your 262 compression is an enigma. 28 outs your band with 22 squish cannot be 160, unless the ring just isn’t seated yet.

Can’t remember if you have a decomp jug, or if it’s plugged.

Idle sounded a little low .............

@Johnmn
This is the saw Eric bought from you that had issues. Pretty sure they were in the carb. It was a mess in there. Perhaps a coil issue as well with the little bit of stalling I’m getting. I need to get some time on her and broke in to figure her out.

Yeah I was trying to get the chain to stop spinning, but that’s the clutch spring. Perhaps it’s that simple...[emoji41]

Same spring as 261?

I don't believe so bud, two shoe vs. three shoe clutch. Pretty sure the spring is different.

I have one that came with the saw. Hopefully it’s the right one. John must have known it was bad.

 

[drf256]

I didn’t know if the different clutches used same spring or not. Also, the surface area of what hits the drum seems larger on the 2 shoe to me. Odd.

It may be the kill switch, I just fired it up, and when I went to shut it off I hadn’t even flip the switch just touched it when it killed it I remember it was doing that yesterday also.

Great job Dan! She’s Strokin hard at 14.5k, you’ve reignited my desire to build my 262.

Sorry it took so long...[emoji12]
Now let’s get on it!

John mentioned the clutch spring issue when I bought the saw. The spring with the saw is likely a new one I had on hand that I planned to change out and then I ended up donating the saw to the cause

I remember the chain spinning all the time when I had it. Easy fix and that extra spring is brand new should definitely solve that.

Maybe you can turn the idle up a bit with the new spring and no more die problems. Interesting on the stop switch... Simple fixes here at least! Hope the coil is OK.

Top of the morning to ya guys!

Couldn’t wait to hear this saw run again...
So here is my obligatory piss rev when I got home from work.
