262xp rebuild for @hoskavarna raffle

[drf256]

Dan, I'll bring the current 144 carb with me. It would be nice to see what difference it makes on both saws.

Great! I'm out picking some things up. I'll grab a bar and chain on my way home and try this beast out!

Side by side cuts with the same bar and chain would be great.

By the looks of it, the Dyno will be tied up.

I just picked up a new 20" bar and 2 chains. We will get our runs in. Those who were involved get first dibs...

Ok I warmed her up and tried tuning her but she would idle ok then just die. In the cut sounded like too much advance, popping.
So I set the timing back to almost stock. Nada, somethings not right...

It cleared ok cold but not warmed up.
Question is can I add a copper washer to the plug, or do I need to pop her open and grind a little out of the piston?
And what is the proper clearance to the electrode?

First I thought it was the hda87 i send to you, was one of the first rebuild I did....
I wouldnt grind the piston, there has to be other ways to fix the issue, you are probleby not the first one who goes through this

 

[paragonbuilder]

I added an extra plug washer and indexed the electrode to the side.

lets see what happens...

Camera angle wasn't the best but here she is

I noodled after but you would have been staring at my ass the whole time...

It was plenty strong noodling but the clutch cover got clogged. And the clutch brake needs some attention.

No time to mess with this more... Need to get ready for the gtg!
But I'll try advancing the timing again, and look at the clutch brake this weekend at the gtg. Now we need to beat the hell out her and get her broken in.
It was 215 psi cold this morning. Definitely need a firm grip, but she pops quick.

it look and sound very strong, I also loved the throttle respond.
I've followed your thread from day one, you have done one stunning job , beautiful porting!

 

[paragonbuilder]

She may have been a little lean after she got hot, she tached to

I think she is happiest at 14k for now. Let her break in
