I'm more fond of the 288 deflector.

My Husqvarna picks from my sawshelf will be
350, 357xpg, 372xp. and 550xpg.
If i had to choose just one it would be the 550 that with my tweaks n tunes runs like a champ.

Does the 266 intake block use sleeved m4 carb bolts or the normal m5 bolts like on the 630 and 162?

From my internet research, I read that the 66,266,162,630 all use the same intake block. BUT I also saw pictures of some short m4 sleeved carb bolts being sold for a 266. Those are different than the short m5 carb bolts you see on the 162 and 630. So I wanted to double check

Working on a 257 at work, needing fuel and oil caps. I bought the proper part number caps from the Duke, but they still leak. Is there an updated cap, off of a newer saw with another O ring on it?

Oil 501 76 56-02
Fuel 501 81 96-02

Ok I found my answer by going through the IPLs. ( I always forget to do that!)

So this isn't mentioned much anywhere that I could find so it may be interesting to husky 200 series guys. Most of what I found say the 266 intake blocks are the same as the 66,162, and 630. This is true if the 266 block is 1987 or prior. It's not true if 1988 and later!

In 1988 on the 266, husky moved from a short m5 bolt to a short m4 sleeved carb bolt just like you see on the 268 and 272. The difference between these two sleeved m4 bolts (late 266 VS 268/272) is the length of the bolt. They are always shorter on the 266 since the intake block has it's own mounting bolts to the cylinder vs on the 268/272.

Part numbers

1988 and later 266 uses block 503492401 with the m4 carb bolt - 503496902

1987 and earlier 266 uses block 501511803 with the m5 carb bolt - 501777901

You can use any 266 block on any 66,162,630 or 266 regardless of the years, so long as you have the right carb bolts to match the block .

Question. On the 3 series and old 5, 575,576 a blue coil is limited. I have a 266 that has a blue 2 piece ignition. A coil and igniter. Not sure I don’t have one on another 2 series saw also. Or that one is blue and one is black on the same saw. Are these saws rev limited? Or was this just that a certain years are blue?

Any of you folks a big fan of the old 480? I found a good one today with full wrap handlebar and 28" bar at the local saw shop. That as well as a fixer upper 576.
