Question for you fappers.
I snagged a couple orange saws this week. 254 and a 272. Both are projects and I haven't gotten them yet so I'm not exactly sure what parts are needed.

Question is this,
are there any parts combos for these saws that seem to make them run better when compared to other 254 or 272 saws?
Like is there a particular cylinder and/or carb combo to look for.
Kinda new to messing with them orange saws.

Tor said something about a 254 cylinder that runs better than some of the others but I don't recall which one.

Yeah Steve is building a 254 right now and can tell you all about it.

KS are generally proffered over the Mahle. The differences are slight and tolerances are held quite tight, not a lot of wiggle jiggle room on the 254, personally, I like the last years of the 254xp cylinders ever made with the decomps. 272 is either an early non decomp or later decomp, not much change here to look for really, all great Mahle cylinders with good numbers.
You should be good to go with whatever you saws have on them now, with no problems. It's not like an 044/440 with seventeen different ones and some that sucked.
Best running stock undickered with 254 and 272 saws I have ever built, bar none, both had FarmerTec cylinders on them, honest they did. Lol

If you end up short on time, I am looking for a 272 project to do for a fella if you decide you want to sell.

Thanks for the info Steve. The 254 is an SE model so I'm assuming it's an early one. It has the small square sticker on the starter housing.
The 272 I really don't know much about yet. All I know is that it's been "blown up". I'm thinking it will get hot rodded and will end up keeping its rat rod appearance.

Will be a very simple 254 as they progressively got better with more stuffs added like air injection and heat shields for the exhaust. Early ones had the desirable metal seal housing for the flywheel side vs the later plastic versions. Remember to replace all the Orings along with the seals. If you decide to update it, it becomes a major conversion process as a lot of accompanying parts need to be changed to make it work. I've done this and wouldn't recommend it as too many parts are NLA for the 254. The 272 on the other hand everything but the HD filter set up can be had from Husqvarna. Crankshafts were updated from the very earliest models and there's only 2 IPL's for the 272, not a lot of change on these, pretty much got them right from the get go.

I'm doing pretty good. That's a bs move on the sons part.

 

[p61 western]

Well got my sons first saw running pretty good now. Did a coil swap and carb kit, and it runs good. It was supposed to be a parts saw lol. Pretty cool old saw though, a Craftsmen 3.7 power sharp. I will get pics when I get a new lens for my phone camera. I dropped it, and it didn't fair to well lol.
