Looks like a 625 mk2, but can’t be sure.

I had one about 25 years ago and it was a good strong saw, around 60cc and would cut anything in a hurry.

If it were a mark 11 it would have the later chain brake with plastic handle, but good shout.

The 630 was the Husqvarna 162, the 670 was the 266, and the 625 was the 61.

Looks  near the same as this one

That's what I thought but I thought it was a Jonsereds design, an evolution from the 621, which Husqvarna took on board. The 162 seemed to to be exactly the same as this apart from colour (when I  got tired of carrying my 280CD I had 162s from the beginning as my local dealer was Husqvarna) but the guys at work all used Jonsereds 621  as i it was held to be the better saw.

 

As @Stubby says later Jonsereds seemed to have the guts of a husqvrna but with different body work.

My understanding is that the 625 was an open transfer port version of the 630 with both pretty much sharing the same engine parts.

I am sure ADW will confirm as he has a few years on me🙂

As always Steve you are correct it was open transfer port, it was also different from the 630 as the carb screws went through the carb, the block and into the cylinder, the 630 had the block screwed to the cylinder and the carb bolted to it.
