Husqvarna 268...

[Adirondackstihl]

Got this saw from my wife's uncle.
Said it felt like it was getting tired.



What year was this? 86' 96' ??




Money shot....

 

[Adirondackstihl]

This is how it sits right now.....

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I'm gonna need a few things to get it going.

Yeah, I noticed the spark plug was missing

You going up to a 272?

You going up to a 272?

Maybe
Maybe not
Gotta see if the big end bearing is good. If it is, I'm gonna proceed. If not, I'm gonna part it out or toss it

I'm sure I've got one if yours is bad

 

[Pioneer Perry]

Fix it man.

 

[KZ1000]

You can toss it in the mail to me, I don't even mind the tired mark on the piston.

Good runners?

One of my favs. I've got 2 268 and one soon to be 272. Great firewood saw.

Absolutely. Don't be chucking it.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

WTF?

 

[psuiewalsh]

Fits good.

 

[DSS]

WTF?

Trust us. It's supposed to look like that

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Flywheel and clutch don't wanna budge.
It's -33 with windchill outside right now so I ain't goin to fire up the air compressor.
Probably put a little MAPP on the flywheel and go from there.

 

[psuiewalsh]

You have a puller on the flywheel or just hammering the nut?

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Brass hammer

 

[psuiewalsh]

Not sure if it is proper or not but I bolted up a steering wheel puller where the pawls bolt in.
