Does the clutch cover from the 266 fit the jonsered 670?

Yes I cut a AM one down to fit but my handle had a little bend in it.

Do the wrap handle swap between the two families?

The handles don't swap over there's a different angle to the dangle and is the biggest difference between the two.

266 updates on my saw. Added a heat shield on the exhaust, added a bellows where the throttle arm goes through the chassis, cut out the knock out in the top cover just above the flywheel for the new fresh air inlet. Also some aluminum tape to help keep the cover from melting.


Just some things that keeps these old saw's a bit more current and productive. The air filter sure appreciates it.
Mods don't always have to be big bored and porting jobs.

No......I was just wondering if the 266, 268 & 272 handles would go on a 670 chassis.
The Husky handles are easier to find then the J-RED.

So some of these didn't have the heat shield?
This 670 that I rebuilt doesn't have one. I figured it was tossed aside because the muffler was dangling by one screw when it arrived.

Neither of mine had one

My 266 didn't come with one, but now going to look for one.

Good to know.

I buy one for a 272 and stick it in there. Can't remember if the last ones had a shield or not, makes sense though regardless.

I'm gonna ask the guy that I built this saw for if he wants to put one on. He's the ham fisted dull chain all the time type so I think it's probably a good idea.

The bill is getting steep so we'll see...

Doesn't take long for the dollars to add up to OMG. Heat management has been a focus for quite a while now, look at what was done to the newest designs to mitigate the effects of heat. So to my line of thinking when putting an older saw back to work I like to give it all the better chance I can.

I'm not seeing where the 266 ever had one, so I guess that's your Stump Shot special tip of the day. Lol

 

[huskihl]

I believe they started using the heat shields to alleviate heat brought on be choked up mufflers, which was one method of burning hydrocarbons more efficiently. Chalk another one up for the epa

Trying a copy of the updated clutch for the 61 through 272 series of saws. Should be ok if the springs don't come flying out of the clutch cover. Lol Can buy a couple dozen of these over the real deal. Will see if it is worth a few bucks or not.
