There you go, at least you got some work from someone!

I will see what he comes back with - the owner of the 262 that I have just done has seen the vids of it on Youtube and is a very happy man indeed - I may get a recommendation later.

 

Always try to give good value for money and excellent comms on all repairs.

Can you give me a link to your vids please?

[spudulike]

Here are the vids,

 

The Tach reading - best on full screen to see the gauge - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbmWgwrFyZ8]YouTube - ‪Husqvarna 262 tach tune‬‏[/ame]

 

Cutting - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggrMd83NsZ0]YouTube - ‪Husqvarna 262 Muffler Mod‬‏[/ame]

 

It has had a new piston as the original one had a crack in the crown from using the incorrect piston stop so tuned it at 12,900 - a little down on the max of 13,500. Compression has risen from 150psi to 170psi after 3/4 of a tank full of fuel so reckon another 10 tanks and this saw will be even better.

 

The Arbtalk member is happy and will get the saw back in a couple of days.

 

Enjoy

Hi all,

 

I am the lucky s*d who had the good sense to send his ailing Husky 262XP to senior member spudulike for some much needed care and attention. Spud is not only a chainsaw engineering genius, he is also a perfect gentleman who charges extremely reasonable rates for his first rate skills, and freely dispenses excellent advice.

 

From the factory the Husky 262XP was already something of a ripper, but with polished ports, Spud's brilliant double barrel exhaust muffler, and a posh new Diamondfire spark plug fitted, I think this saw is really going to rock. I reckon maybe 5.5hp from a lightweight saw. Cool!!!

 

I'll post a video of the saw running as soon as it is run in.

 

Best wishes,

Chris
