Husqvarna 272XP pull the trigger or not?

[CrystalRiver1]

Looking at a Husqvarna 272 XP with a 28” RSN bar for sale. Seller says that while swapping the fuel filter on it earlier in the year he accidentally perforating the fuel line within the tank. Unfortunately he says Husqvarna discontinued said fuel line. ..has a replacement line for the lower section which runs into the tank but the upper section still is a issue. The saw still has great compression. Before it was running on choke just before dying. I’m certain it is a fuel issue. The bar and sprocket tip (valued at $107 new) is in good condition. New chain brake handle, new chain catch and a relatively new filter.Has a 20” bar and extra chains to go with it. Have the original manual. Asking $300.
Now reduced to $250
SHOULD I OR NOT?

For $250.00 with both bars I would.

Yep, id buy that in a jiffy for that amount. Early non decomp cylinder ftw!

Good deal. I think his dealer is FOS about the fuel line, but even if it is discontinued it's no big deal. I'd hit it

 

[Mattyo]

Buy it. Then ship it to me. I'm good for the $$

 

[paragonbuilder]

Not even a question... buy it!!

Check the cylinder, a fuel line hole can do the same thing as an air leak.

 

[jakethesnake]

I'd buy. I gave 2 for one in worse shape I'm happy with

 

[Magic_Man]

Jump on it at that price all day long.

 

[Mark71gtx]

Yep

Thanks for the post, Rolltide is on his way to pick up the saw for me...

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Offer him 200.

It's worth the asking price. If you can get him to $250- you'll have stole it. Congrats.

I would have bought that saw way before starting a thread about it. Tidy 2 series are highly desirable and considered Husky best. Fuel line is not a real issue. Get that saw before a smart fellow does.

Buy it
