262xp build and port for the Treemonkey raffle

[rjames]

Well that was awkward lol

Did you find a bar for that saw yet?

he only did the jug for me ... I bought the saw locally and was convinced the jug no good.... with the docs female like soft hands, he massaged it back to life for me

 

[Mattyo]

yup, I did... I traded for it and all is well. dumb thing is that with the shipping $$ neither of us did well, so kinda silly to trade bars if ya have to ship them fyi

(sorry for the jack, i'll shut up now)

So do we have the 262 figured out or do we need to keep trying?

Nice grinding per usual al.

 

[drf256]

Always have to keep trying J.

I got tired of those stupid metal clips digging into my knuckles, so I stopped pulling. its likely higher than 200psi

There's usually pain involved when doing a compression test.

you know the top cover can be removed

I don't find a compression test to hurt any worse then starting it.

J, Al definitely went w/ different numbers than you did. I still don't have much time on the saw, because I'm still waiting on parts, but Al's #'s sure are snappy....

There's lots of ways to *f-word this goat.

I am pleasantly surprised how it runs , very easy to work on and get gains from also. I don't know the people who are getting it but I hope they like it.

"Easy to work on" is the 200 series all over . Im sure no one will be anything other than happy as can be with the result.

That's a fact.
I have been in a 262 268 272 281 and some 288s and there very simple.
Good solid built saw

Just stumbled across this thread. I am the lucky sob that won this here saw. I watched the video, looks to be cutting very good. I have my dad's old 272 and it is an excellent saw (stock), I also have a Treemonkey ported 288 and it too is an excellent saw. Always wanted a 262, heard good things about them. I really appreciate all you have done. I am looking forward to running it. I will be bringing it to the chainsaw races up at the Chisago County fair at the end of July. Now if I can give it a chain that can compete with some of the other guys. Thanks again!

I hope you enjoy it!
It's a really good strong saw, it's the first one I've ever ported or ran so I had no idea what to expect and I was very surprised at how it runs.
