254XP Rebuild

[XP_Slinger]

I'm going to get an 18 for my 262. I'm kinda a sucker for those Windsor/Carlton speed tip bars!

Those are nice bars for sure. I got Tsumura simply because my OCD dictates that my bars must match. Bonus is that they are very nice bars

I was looking at baileys because I'm not sure who else sells Carlton bars and a guy can get a tsumura bar for a bit less!

@fordf150 has very good prices on Tsumura bars

I finally got to make a few cuts with my 254, I’m impressed, definitely a keeper. Joe and our younger brother are coming over today to put some miles on our new saws. Little bro just picked up a new 550 yesterday, Looking forward to running that. I’ll get a video of the 254 to finish this thread.

Good day in the woods with the family and my brothers. As I said I’m pretty impressed with the 254, it has no issues with the 18” .325 bar buried in hard wood.

Sugar maple.... THAT'S how you test a saw for strength!

I got to cut a few cookies with that 254 and I am impressed by it! Very good power, maybe not quite as fast as a 346 or 550, but that 2-series torque really puts the chips on the ground.

Nice build Josh! Can't wait to get our mitts on those 262s!

I’d be interested in one for my 262 when you’re ready to make a shipment.

we gotta fix that for you, just let my know when your ready starting with her.
I only need to keep a couple for my last projects, rest can go over the pond to your guys.
I thought to give away parts from saws that I'm done with, 254 is one off them, not sure if there is good crank but there should be 1-3 oem jugs

 

[SHOVELHEAD]

Those two dog screws messed me up once....didn't know they were case bolts. Tore a case half.....whoops.

Nice job so far!

That case Splitter of yours really works, don't it Matt!

Might have better luck getting another members attention by tagging them. Simply put in @ then start typing their name, the list will auto populate and then you can choose the member you want to pull into the conversation.

Thanks a lot! @XP_Slinger

Thanks a lot! @XP_Slinger

No problem

Upgraded my carb to a 120 I recently acquired from @dustinwilt68 . Definitely a worth while upgrade.

Side note: I planned on putting a kit in the 120, since my 35B was freshly rebuilt I looked up the Walbro part numbers. As I suspected, the repair kits for the 120 and 35b are the same. I swapped the guts out of my 35b into the 120 and it runs great!!!

Glad it worked out for you
