There are many YouTube videos of plastic welding, some are even helpful.

A local guy dropped off a couple of saws today, says they haven't been run in a while...



The 262 seems to have great compression, the 36 not so much. His idea is I get the running and he will sell them. Just curious about the value of these all cleaned up and fully operational before I put the time and effort into them.

If the 262 cleans up well and runs good, maybe $400. For me the 36 would go in the trash, but I’m sure someone will disagree.

$100, all fixed up on the 36. They make great little camp saws
I paid $500 for a pair of 262 project saws. both "ran" but needed...still do...a lot of work and a few parts. They got back-burnered

 

[heimannm]

Update and hoping for more input...the 36 has about 125 PSI compression and O.K. spark. Slight score on the piston is visible through the exhaust.

The 262 has 150 PSI compression and good spark. Piston looks good through the exhaust port.

I expect it would be 2-3 hours to tear the 262 down for a thorough cleaning and inspection, replace the lines, carburetor kit, other bits as needed.

It might be possible to sell the saw locally for $300 but frankly, I don't have many folks looking for "bigger" saws around here, most want smaller and lighter.

I'm thinking of offering him $150 for the pair as is and go from there.

Am I off base???

I don’t think you are off base unless you are wanting to work for free.

 

[heimannm]

I already do a lot of that...

If the 262 has a good oe carb, I'd go $200 for the pair.

The owner of the saws is downsizing and moving off the acreage so he no longer needs the saws, but needed a leaf blower instead. I happen to have a very low hour Stihl BG50 available, we will make the trade.

Husqvarna 298xp.
Does it have a decompression valve?

 

[Al Smith]

Yep it's the blue button on the side of the engine .

 

[Squareground3691]

Not factory , must of been put in afterwards, or aftermarket cycle with it done ,

Is the carb an 81 attached to a KS cylinder? If so, my stock 262 was 170psi and I only ran it for 20 years and sold it for $500. I would give him $200 for it, if it's a KS, clean it, new ring, vacuum check, open muffler and pop can gasket.

 

[heimannm]

I will have a closer look at the carburetor and cylinder tomorrow and report back.

Meanwhile...does anyone know if there are alternate crankshaft seals for 503260601?

Also, I am having trouble getting the oil pump off, seems like the chip guard/washer is stuck to the crankshaft and won't let the pump come out.

I'm sure there will be a few more parts inquiries/saw questions to follow.

The 503260601 seals are used in a lot of Husqvarna saws and trimmers Mark - I think it's the flywheel side seal on a 365.

PB blaster?
Looks to be superseded in later models according to the IPLs
505 27 57-19, both sides

 

[hacskaroly]

After getting my 272 running, I love it...I think a 262 would be a fun project saw. If you can trade the blower for both I think that would be a fair deal. Like someone said earlier, the 36 would make a great little saw for camping or to put on a side-by-side just enough to get stuff out of the way, but not too small to take forever!

 

[Woodwackr]

So, am reassembling a 371 and 55 Rancher I picked up a while back and discovered it is a 45mm, not a 46. Everything looks OE and in disassembly the case had never been cracked. Barrett’s IPLs has these as coming either-or. Does that sound right? I had plenty of 46s but had to order a 45mm ring

 

[heimannm]

Cylinder is Mahle, carburetor is HDA 120.







I was able to get the "chip guard" washer off and of course the oil pump then came right off. everything looks good so far.

[heimannm]

Does anyone know what is supposed to go in this empty hole?



I can't tell from the IPL's that I have looked at if that is for the chain catcher, or if the chain catcher is supposed to mount further forward with the screw for the front AV spring.
