This is what $140 worth of shindaiwa parts looks like.

The 257/262 I built is near stock 266 strong
And has a quicker throttle response
I was really impressed I've never owned the sub 66cc 2 series
I'll be using my mastermind 2171 this fall it's the lightest ported saw I have.

I've probably built 50-100 chainsaws from scratch, mostly 242, 346, 550 class, a little 357, 254, 262.
And rarely 372 and 560.
Quality varies depending on how much I've put into it, porting is wood porting I do, so not a pro.
Now, I just try to build for myself, and put significantly more into it these days.

My 346xpg build that is not quite finished (missing xpg flywheel) was the generator, carburetor (most likely), gas tank and a couple of other parts that were used parts, the rest is NOS.

This project is a 357, I'm building it for summer bucking, and will try 372 xtorx bearings in it. It all started with me getting a tank and top cover for a symbolic price. Right now I'm trying to find parts, new, used, and see how the project comes together.

I've been lucky and had a mechanic who helps me out with a lot of parts at spot prices.

I've always wanted Walbro's service tool kit, and today I remembered and ordered one.
Unfortunately, there is a 564 xpg ordering bug in Husqvarna's system, at least as of today it is not possible to pre-order the chainsaw.

It's always fun to look through NOS parts to put together a 346 and a 357 since they share some parts, so in the 346 intake parts I found three top cover clips, so I don't have to buy them! And 5 black 357 filters were there too.
