262XP Rebuild - Junk Pile Save

[XP_Slinger]

BTW- very nice thread!! I am awaiting the final product...I just luv the 262!!!I think next one I'm going to have to do is the 42/242.

Thanks I really enjoy doing these threads. I’m quietly hunting for a 242 myself, need to fill a gap in my 2-series line up

@drf256
I've got to do a comp test on mine soon. I know its pulling close to 200.

Prob 220.

I’m thinking of a 262 body to 52mm 272 jug frankenbuild Tom.

I have tried 3 different testers, all read the same

Looks like a good time Dan! Joe’s gonna be drooling when he sees these pics. Mine is finally starting to look like a saw...

Got muh carb all refurbed prior to the previous pic. Glad I did, she had some grunge in there.

Now it’s time for a muffler mod, what to do...



I know! Hawg it out! should breath nicely.



Next and most important step is cleaning the muffler out. Don’t want them metal shavings eating my new piston. I pump solvent through it for about 10 minutes with the magnet in it to grab the shavings. Then scrub it out, finally blow it out with compressed air. After it dries, I run the magnet though it again and give it a close look with a strong flashlight. If there’s any shiny spots I keep cleaning til it’s all gone.




Installed and ready to make some noise.

Final parts were handle bar, top covers, bar n chain and clutch cover. Starts fast, idles stable and feels really snappy for a stock saw. Joe is coming down in the morning to help me get a video of it cutting. Think I’m gonna have to get another Tsumura solid bar, thieved this 20” off my 357 and I like it on the 262.

WAHOO 262!

Hey @Tpagel ! The tank looks/functions great and the carb works perfect after putting a kit in it. I know I’ve stated this many times but I owe you one brother.
