262XP Rebuild - Junk Pile Save

[ranchdadmike]

I see you creepin around in this hooskie thread @RI Chevy ...drink the Koolaid. I won't tell team stihl...LOL

262 is like a gateway drug. Then it’ll be 272, 346, 288, 372, 394...

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. I like a good saw, period. My preference and everything I have happens to be Stihl. Bars, chains, everything.
But I do love a good running strong saw regardless of brand.

Don’t take the bait: you’ll look up one day & you’ll be searching for
Your fasteners & wondering where your creamsicles went.

 

[RI Chevy]

No 272 love?

I dont own a 272, actually, nor do I own a 288.
I know the 3 I named was just ruffly and will correct it right now.
242/246/254/262/272/281/288 is where Husky did everything right!

I’ve never owned any other than a 288.

And a 272 in pieces.

The whole family!

My parts are on the way from Ulster County. Should be assembling my saw Monday or Tuesday. Just hope my piston gets here around the same time.

 

[Tor R]

I never knew anything about this "A or B" cylinder and piston stuff. Has this practice carried through to more recent models too?

Mahle and KS left A B C pistons and came with a piston who fall between A and B piston, AB.
Meteor has continue with different slugs, 254 has only one from them, AB, while there is A B C pistons for 262.

OEM, AB piston
Meteor, most times 3 different options, a few times AB piston

Any love for a 266 Tor?

I got one 266 project myself, xpg from 1986
I've priority those small saws the last year knowing parts dry out, when I'm done with them its time for my 266 project and 2×372 projects.
Gotta finish them Mike

Fix that 272. They’re real good. I have a 288 but honestly haven’t run it much. You ll like a 272 if you like a 288

Meh.

The 272 is now running, as of yesterday.

You take it or an 044. Or whatever stihl had to match it in that era?

Yes.

Uncle has to run a fleet of 268/371s just to keep up with 1 little ol’ 461.

Never see a stihl for sale around here. I would have to find a junk one and fix it. I haven’t run any larger stihls at all. Even trashed ones bring good money on Craigslist. I’ve got too many saws now. But I think I’ll leave room for one stihl. Just for curiosity sake
