Husky 272xp CFB style

[drf256]

Great job Silver Eagle.

You've got the marks of a true craftsman. You weren't afraid to go back in when the final product didn't meet your expectations.

There's gonna be another satisfied customer, that I'm sure of.

This thread is worth bringing back to the top, great work Mike.

Sadly I only have 3 tanks of fuel through this saw. I will say the compression is higher now than when first got it back from Mike, and the saw has gained a noticeable amount of power as well. It's a bit of a bugger to start cold simply because it has so much compression. It starts easily and instantly when hot though. I think I will put the decomp back in it just to save my should a bit.

This is my first ported saw but definitely not my last. It is just so much fun to run. I thought it had a lot of power when it was stock but now it just makes me laugh at how hard it pulls. Mike did a great job porting my saw, in fact, as this thread shows, he went out of his way to get it just right. He didn't have to do that and I likely would have been very happy with his initial results, but he wasn't satisfied so he did the extra work. It just shows the man's character - what more could a customer ask for?

Mike is an awesome builder and a hell of a good guy. Sure is a beauty of a 272, I’m jealous.

Thanks and yes Mike is a good guy and does really nice work. I have a 181/288 here to build that will be making it's way to Paris, Ontario once I finish it.

Sounds like you’re building quite the Silver Eagle 2-series line up. Looking forward to seeing it rip

Haha yes maybe! I could see getting one of my 262XPs done some time in the future just to complete the set.

I really like the two series. 272 especially. I have two of them. One super ugly one less ugly. Both run very well. I run a 32” bar on one bone stock with high depth guages. It pulls well enough. I prefer falling with it over my 288 just due to the weight. I’d love to try a ported one.

Spend some of your Benjamins and get 1 done! You'll be glad you did...

Mike's attention to detail and craftsmanship is 2nd to none.
Plus he's a great guy. [emoji106]

Sorry guys.... less saw for a minute and maybe a few car pics???

You won’t regret it. Then you’ll need a 242, 254 & 266. lol

No 262XP?

Don't worry I have 6 of them, just not one ported (yet).

WOW!! Hoarder

I’m working on this right now, 268W with a 272 top end.

Very nice! Looks like a 288xp hand guard and felling spike on your saw.

Good eye...that’s exactly what’s on there. I’ve not seen hardly any 272 chassis wrap handles, pretty happy to have it

 

[CJ Brown]

Yeah I'm guessing that full wrap is a pretty rare bird. Are going to do a build thread on this saw?

Wasn’t intending to, just a simple refurb. If you’ve seen one 2-series you’ve seen them all lol.
