Husqvarna 262xp raffle build thread

[srcarr52]

Well shoot…looks like the gasket set I have has the intake block gasket for a 257. I don’t have any gasket material on hand to make one, so I’m gonna have to go shopping.

Your local farm store or auto parts store will have gasket material.

I ran into the same problem during my 262 build and I had to make one.

@farminkarman Greg nice work on the jug and exhaust!

My tiny contribution . If you want it get me your address and I will mail it Monday when I'm back from camping.

My God, did you bring that camping with you? Must have been a Boy Scout...

@farminkarman Greg nice work on the jug and exhaust!

Thank you!

Coming along nicely. Ran into the same shît first time I converted a 257 to a 262. Took a couple extra weeks for multiple shipments due to me not noticing the differences in the block, gaskets, air dam thingy, etc

I have definitely learned a few things doing this build. I’m curious to see how it turns out.

I opened up the area under the screen and welded on a @Red97 large deflector. I put in an open mesh screen to keep debris out of the muffler.

That opening on the front looks almost big enough for Kevin to get his thumb in @huskihl

I got the saw all put back together this morning and found out pretty quick that I had a fuel problem. Turns out the plastic inlet elbow has a crack in it. I am open to suggestions on how to best repair this.

Steve, thanks for sharing the part number. I will order one.

I got the saw up and running...sort of. I have struggled with a bit trying to get the low & high jets in a workable spot. The tune is wandering quite a bit, so I'm gonna have to do some more digging to figure out what's up.

Did you kit that carb?

Did you kit that carb?

Yep. Ran it through the ultrasonic before putting it together with a new kit.

I'm not a fan of the plastic fuel inlet, I usually order a cheap carburetor online and pull the metal fuel inlet and impluse off and toss the rest.
Thin smear of JB and press it in where the plastic one was.
Just my 2 cents

These are a good replacement for the plastic ones...
