Todays snag

[dustinwilt68]

Great snag! @Tor R is a magician with these. Little tough to get parts for but great saws from all accounts.

Yes I figure I will be picking Tor's brain quite a bit once I start this project in a couple months.

Seems like quite a little hot rod even in stock form looking at the specs.

Went to GKS today and rummaged through the junk pile. Found this little gem begging to be overhauled and I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to say no to her. She came home with me for 60 bucks. Looks to be complete, only flaw visible thus far is a crack in the cylinder cover that was stitched up with mechanics wire. I have been wanting a sub-45cc, mag case, pro saw for a bit now and needless to say I'm excited as hell to have brought this home, my first 2xx series! I passed up on 254, 262, 266, and 268 builders for this one. View attachment 68815

Ive been know to by dead 2 series Huskys if you come across complete ones.

Well he still has a few there. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I checked out a complete 2100, even had what I would guess to be a 32" B&C still mounted on it.

Its an engrained genetic tactic for survival.

You are a lucky man living so close to a honey hole like that.

great find, if you ask me you have got a super deal on her!!!
242 has a tad shorter power head compared against 346, my feeling when using them is that distance from front handle bar to throttle lever is shorter also hence why I always ment that 242 is the fastest limbing saw Husky ever made!

Yeah, only about 9 miles from my house. He doesn't have a huge store, but he has quite a bit in stock for saws and being in business for almost 40 years they have a bit of a junk pile. It's as fun as picking the junkyard for parts for my old truck.

Thanks Tor, I just hope I can find all the parts I need to give this saw the complete overhaul it deserves.

Tor has more 2 series saws than should be legal, I just got my first G model today a 254xpg that Rattler ported, looking forward to running it some. The 242 is known for high RPM, stock is somewhere around 14,200 or 14,500 I believe.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Yes I saw your 254, VERY nice!

I looked up the 242 on Acres, says 3.1hp, 15.5k max no load RPM. And I didn't typo that number either.. LOL!

I have been watching a few 242 vids, I don't think I'm going to try and port it. Seems like a little compression bump (BG delete) and muffler mod might be all that little hotrod needs to give it a tad more grunt to go with that sky-high RPM capability. I'm going to go nuts being a "good boy" waiting for the right time to dig into this thing.. But it's also time for us to work our saws here, not so much work ON them. LOL!

I dont feel I got enough of those 2xx saws
Rattler build some mean 2xx saws, I got one 262 he used his magic fingers on, and trust me, its a monster!
You cant go wrong with a 254 xpg, its a legendary chainsaw in Norway and Sweeden.
242 is wot 15.5k, stock mine is tuned around 15.3, my ported ones 15.8-16k

Nice!

I went picking with @RIDE-RED 350r today fully intending on being a good boy. Needles to say I picked up this P&C to put on my 372 X-Torq. The trained eye will know what it is but I will tell ya it ends with a "W". Oh and I gave $40 for it.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Bwa ha ha ha ha!!! Dub-dub-dubba-YA!

That was mean and hurt full. Iam going over to the sensitive members thread.

 

[dustinwilt68]

All good scores there, I hope the weather cooperates tomorrow to run the 254, I am in need of a top cover and clutch cover for it if anyone has any please let me know. I am planning a cosmetic makeover for it.
