It's finally getting a 266 top end, seals, lines and a rim drive setup

I got hold of a white top had a 162 top-end on it the guy had put the piston in backwards so had to fix that but it was a strong saw for sure

I got this one mostly back together, I didn't put the gauge on it yet but I can hardly pull the damn string. Had .026 squish. Might be snappy when I get it running.

Bumping up this cute thread

Bought it on ebay, for some odd reasons I had those black fuel & oil caps. I'll probleby take her apart later and get her repainted...


Another one I bought on ebay (1996 model)


Those xpg wires is famous for issues, this is how I choose to protect them:


While I was in the mood for some 242's, I bought a future project in Norway, not the smartest I've done


And this one is on the way...another impulsive purchase lol

242 and 254 used black plastic/front handle bar rubber until 90 or so, Simon
42 used grey plastic/front handle bar rubber the whole time, even on their Anniversary who they started to produce in 1988 was in grey.

here's my first try at a complete restoration,it's a 266 SG. i had the cylinder stripped,NiCom,honed by u.s. chrome.new oem piston,crank & bearings,ignition,carb,air filter & top cover,recoil housing & chain brake,generator,front handle,rear grips.
only modification was base gasket delete,larger 3-shoe clutch.

my second try was this brand new crankcase & flywheel for 154/254 i found in my parts drawer that's around 85 or 87. i had enough NOS to make it into a 262,only modification was muff mod & base gasket made of writing paper

It's finally getting a 266 top end, seals, lines and a rim drive setup

stihl fs 80 tank grommet and regular fuel line will get you away from the pre molded line which is 10.99 oem
the tank grommet with line is around 2-3$

yes Tor R, it's william.
now that i got started painting,and restoring i found this nice condition 140S in the pile of saws that i cleaned up. it's next to get "the treatment"
i figure it sat in the pile for about 25 years. i looked in the spark plug hole and saw that the cylinder wall by exhaust port was nice and shiny,so i filled it up with gas and tried to get'er going.it had tremendous compression!!...only to find that bar oil had leaked into crankcase.when it did start,wow what a smoke show!!...when it quit smoking,it re-started real good.so i put the tach on it...14,000+-.the guy that gave it to me said"i never could get this saw to start good" i believe it had a bad center gasket right from the get go.
here's the finished 266SG
