Chainsaw Pics...

rebuilding them not my thing. Sentimental value.

 

if and when you rebuild it, will you make it like factory fresh or make a ported saw/muffler mod etc?

 

Probably stock for the most part.

 

I decided to go into this 026. 70 psi but otherwise a pretty clean saw.
P/C toasted.
One of the first thing I found was that the intake clamp was backed off/loose. I’m hanging my hat on that one.
All the rubber is good.
Waiting on the Meteor delivery man now.
This pic shows that for this carb the H and L only have one adjustment, but the case allows for a fully adjustable. Carb on it is a WT430B

 

Building a 266se into a 268xp i don't have a 266 cylinder.
Using the complete cylinder intake carb etc.
And a hyway 268 pop-up with a caber.
New fuel line seals carb kit etc.

 

That's one of the best saws ever made
Stock or even better ported imho

 

Cutting dead ash for a neighbor 1986 266se all original still 190 comp
Fuel line and carb kit was all it needed.

 

2000 288xp lite my brother bought new
I rebuilt it with a meteor a caber
New seals line's etc. ported 2165
Put new tsumuras and archer chain on both
After a handfile the archer cut's great.

 

Good numbers on this 026
Has 021 squish with the .5mm gasket and layer of motoseal
Passes pressure and vacuum test.

 

Picked up a Husqvarna 268 at an online auction a week or two ago. Looked rough, and I couldn't pull the handle before buying. I took a chance and it seems to be good. Needed a few things and lots of cleaning up. Here are a few before and after pics. It seems a bit touchy when adjusting the carb, so I may throw a kit in it, but for now, I'm going to run it awhile and make that decision later.

 

That cleaned up great. Good job.

 

026 in the field, clearing some trail this morning.

 

ya took the best saw on your list today.

 

lol he wanted to make sure it lasted the whole time cutting lol

 

You must have picked up the wrong stuff at market.

 

It was the best one I had in the woods!
I actually did enjoy it. Went back out this afternoon on some 15” maple and it was impressive.

 

You should try one ported

 

I bet.

This one is pretty tight.

I did give it a little breathing room.

 

Ran a couple yesterday with one of my daughters along for the ride. Gave the cs-500vl a full workout. Pulled like a champ. Even got to hang out with the bighorns for a while.





Just ripe for the picking.



Smelling fine.



I run into these fine creatures regularly. A couple of nice big herds on the way up to where I cut.



More candy for the 2021 pile.



Cheers folks.
