Does your old vent have a slot in the end Mark? Some were push-in, older ones were screw-in.

 

[Woodwackr]

I have 2-3 different nos oe vents here, gonna have to look now

 

[heimannm]

No slot, clearly it is just pressed into the tank. I didn't get back to that one today as my benches are currently buried in other brand parts...

Maybe next week.

I vaguely remember having to destroy the thing, same 87-31, to get it out. then, just replaced it. Can't remember which saw HL has the kit for $8

My latest purchase, 395XP, which I was able to buy from first owner. These are rare species in Finland.
Low hour saw as seller descriped, has even those factory decals under the gas tank. Only mods to saw were oil and gas flip up caps and muffler which I made even noisier.

Nice score, congrats...Looks to be in great shape!

Thank you, Sir.
To be honest, I met my first honest saw seller. Everything on that saw was as seller said. Flywheel and cylinder cooling fins, no saw dust or chips anywhere, paint intact etc. I willing to bet there is lesser than ten hours on that saw and no wonder, it is heavy bit*h.
After testing it, it was difficult to wipe grin off my face. Brutal unlimited power compared to my 372XP.

I got back to the 254 on Saturday, just reached inside the tank with a better set of pliers and pushed the whole vent assembly out. Tested it off the saw and it seemed to vent O.K. but on the saw vacuum testing through the tank it was slow coming down. Installed a new OEM vent assembly and it drops to 0 almost instantaneously. Fuel line, fuel filter, gaskets & diaphragms in the carburetor and it seems to run as it should.

I'm thinking the 2 Series saws should have a compression release...

...and to 300whisperer, very nice saw. As you can see in the preceding pages I just went through a 394 for a local guy, that saw was pretty well trashed.

Those 262 were a power to weigh stock winners , especially after porting,

Question for someone that knows... Have a husky 44 that belongs to my uncle it's the dark top version. It had a air leak around the carb. Fixed the gaskets but can not get that thing to idle correctly. Any one know what the factory settings are on that saw? The idle jet was almost 6 turns out and the high and low jet were nearly 7 turns out. That can't be right, figure he was compensating for the air leak. Piston looks fine and compression seems ok. But I can't seem to get the right settings to get it to run correctly. I can get it to fire off and run, just not well, either idling to fast or I kill it during adjustment. Airleak at the carb is gone now. Tested that.

One to one and a quarter turns out , will get you started as a base , for both make sure idle screw isn’t crank in to much either, then adjust accordingly , are the carb diaphragms old , if so a new kit is in order to,

Has anyone tried Duke’s 2-pc coils for the 161, 61, early 266?
I’m in need of either the small part or a complete set.
Frankinsaw, 61 to 272 project…

So I did some trading with a guy local near me and he has a 2100CD that is in decent shape. He is getting older and is having a hard time starting the saw. I have a 572xp that I put up on CL and he messaged me interested in a trade. My question is, what’s the 2100CD worth? It’s hard to find a price and I know it might be tough in general to put a number on it but thought I’d ask, thanks!

In decent cosmetic and good running condition and with all the parts, around $500. Definitely not an even trade, imo.
Might add $100 for a working chain brake.

Thanks, I was thinking of a trade with some money on top. Now I can ask for the “right” amount of cash to make it fair.
