Very nice saw and example of what a 262 should be. Thanks for posting.

Is this true for the bigger 2 series cylinders also ?

can't speak about bigger cylinders, but I got a few 254's.
254's, I got 3 different KS jugs and 2 different Mahles, spread from 1987 to 2001, aint much difference between them, but they used same carb from 1986 until 2001.

Early Mahle non comp jug. So,a KS 87 will help it?

Heres my ks 87 262. Waiting on one from Mr. Mastermind that I know hes putting his special recipe on! Lol

Its got the later style handle, haven't found a real good handle with tool compartment but I'm gong up to pick up a 1990 262 next week. Maybe that handle will be nice. Got to get some glue for that sticker!!

Here's my 1995 Mahle/120.

1991 with KS/87 I can't wait to run them against each other!

it's the only jug who is close to the KS shape in transfer, if there was any benefit with stock saws & 87 combination it gotta be on KS and non decomp Mahle.
I got 2 262 runners at the moment, both has 87 carb, KS jug and Mahle 48ZN15, 205 vs 215 psi, the impression I have about those two is that KS&87 is more snappy even it has a tad less compression

As I've said before I think the non decomp.Mahle is snappier than the decomp saw. Has a different exhaust note also. Same muffler.

I have 3 or 4 more 262 some are really nice to minty ! If anyone needs to buy one or 2 pm me

Give it a shot, I think you are spot on.
48ZK3 who is probleby the jug you have, is the only Mahle exept the 48ZK3 decomp who has in my eyes close the same shape inside as KS had.

Tom, the 199 worked great on your saw. I swapped out the case, new Nachi bearings.....it's looking great. I'll test drive it again in a day or two.

MS460 rebuild with port work in front of me......

If the transfers have larger capacity (all the way), a larger carb is more likely to help...

Here's my 262 and the tank I plan to put on it. Saw has a Mahle jug ported by Terry and a hda87 i installed.
