Husqvarna 254XP Rebuild

The differences between the 262 and 254/257 are top end (bigger bore and taller cylinder), taller plastics (for the taller cylinder), muffler, air filter, carb, longer rod for the 262 and a few other smalls.

Same clutch or different?

Same clutch or different?

I think it was same and it was the 257 that had a different clutch from the others

Pretty sure they have the same clutch.. I could be wrong

 

[ZukiRyder440]

The 262 has a different clutch than a 254/257. 254/257s are the same

I just did a little research that said the 254 had a 2 shoe clutch and the 262 was a 3 shoe.

Yup and I know from experience that a 2 shoe clutch will get smoked by a modded 262.

gee wiz info...clutch assembly from a 357/359 is a bolt on upgrade if you have the newer style oil pump drive.

261 is also a 2 shoe clutch.

Gonna do some more clean up on the lowers. The are so long because my “OCD” kicked in when I was trying to make them perfectly straight at the bottom. I had an “O *s-word” moment and didn’t go any further.

Glad you stopped, those cylinders are NLA but you’re doing good work bub. Don’t forget how much my 254 impressed you with just a thinner base gasket, MM and a little timing advance.
