Oh No that's very insensitive

 

If it's any consolation I haven't seen a 420 for at 1 week :thumbup:

my latest purchase , needed a bit o work ,basically pulled it all apart for inspection and thoroughlt cleaned ,it was pretty good really ,the brake band was broken, a stripped top cover thread , drilled that out bigger as it wasnt even round threaded and plugged with a M7 bolt cut it off, redrilled and threaded to original. the clutch was a bit worn so swapped it from my other i had for spares , new fuel line and filter , stripped and cleaned the carb and anew carb kit for the HDA 87 off the other one ,( this had the smaller 120) , new gaskets etc new rope on the pull start , back together and its a beast :-) no de comp.bloody thing is tough to pull lol , yanks the handle from my hand

262XPs that are around for realistic money tend to be very, very tired in my experience. Assuming that the cylinder is good and original, they always seem to have a never ending list of mini-issues (cracks/stripped threads/random missing obsolete parts) that in the end would have half the thing held together by JB weld!

 

I've never found a reasonably priced doer-upper anyway...

the decomp was introduced on the 262 in mid 93 i believe my year 91 week 26 one and year 93 week 10 do not have them and not even a smooth part where it was planned to be , both are OEM cyl and pistons so are correct and they even have the casting dates on the cyl base beside the transfers , it was introduced later as folk were complaining about how hard they were to pull lol , it is tough , my 372 and 385 seem easier
