262xp rebuild for @hoskavarna raffle

[paragonbuilder]

This is the saw @Yukon Stihl donated to the raffle. He didn't have time to rebuild it so I'm doing it. Here it is as received.

Now let's take it apart!

Hmm HDA 35b carb. Can't say I've seen or heard of this carb in a 262??

Well I'm going to port it, but I don't have a lathe...

Intake looks good.

Exhaust not so much...

I don't have a mandrel that small.
@drf255 has cut one of these I know.

 

[paragonbuilder]

The saw is pretty grungy...

Thomas @Yukon Stihl said it passed pressure and vac check, double checked it and she's good!

Getting deeper.

It's a Mahle non-decomp jug.

Looks like the cylinder will clean up just fine.

Piston is definitely junk!

Time to do some cleaning!
The bearings feel tight but not smooth. I'm going to flush the case good with some kerosene and hopefully it's just some crud in there. Or I could split the case and do seals and bearings for good measure? What do you all think?

I've been using a steam cleaner on saws.
Makes them spotless

Bearings are probably fine

What kind of steam cleaner?

A 3000 psi electric that burns diesel,180 degree water. It's a hotsy.

In 5 min I have a spotless grease free saw.
Water don't matter cause your taking it apart anyway.

I've redone a bunch of saws and a steam cleaner is the best way to clean one.

 

[jmssaws]

It will heat water hotter than 180 but it's not necessary plus it will burn the *s-word out of you when you get it on you.

 

[paragonbuilder]

That sounds worth it!

I've done it the hard way many times and there's no good way to get the nooks and crannies clean other than hot pressurized water.

I use one of those on Equipment. How the hell do you hold a saw still? Every time I've tried something small it ended up out in the parking lot.

I pin it to the concrete with water pressure. Occasionally I shoot a peice out in the yard

What's the serial number?

It is interesting in that it has the new style tank without the "secret compartment", has the metal seal cover on the flywheel side, has air injection, has no decomp valve, has the old style crankshaft driven oil pump. Was this saw made in a transition year (93 - 94)? My original '94 has the secret compartment, air injection, decomp and a clutch driven oil pump.

Yeah, the Walbro 35b was never used on any 262's but was used on the 254. I would have expected a 120 on that saw because it's not early enough for an 87 and not late enough for a 144a.
