Yep.

 

Been using a 242 a bit lately too (look a bit like a smaller 254) and it's lovely - although it's not meant to be much different weight wise to a 346 is seems to handle differently and feel so much lighter and despite it's age this particualr one still pulls like a good un.

 

Don't make then like they used to

The 254 on eBay looks to be new!! It's in the same town where I live. 254's are supposed to really good. I watched a 242 sell for about £250 not long ago. I had a cheeky bid on a 262 as they're supposed to be one of huskys best saws if not the best. Ended up getting it for £160!! That too can be a bit temperamental. Thinking of swapping the plug as it looks to be the original and retuning the carb. It idles ok, but restarting is a bit hit and miss.

the mint 254xp on e-bay is now on £279.97 with 4days 10 hours to run on auction

but he does say in listing you wont find a better one!i must say i have to agree

Spark plugs look very simple but do contain resistors and capacitors.These can break down when hot after running for a few seconds or minutes.Therefore you might well get a spark when cold.If in doubt change the plug they only costs a couple of quid.

[likeitorlumpit]

always change the plug

its my mantra

start it in the dark and look for arcing from ht

thats me done

though it does sound like fuel
