Any husky 254s still working everyday?

Great saw think that's what I done my training on

There are different generations of 254s out there, and the last generation, made from 1994 an on, are the most attractive ones (different starter side, slightly higher power rating, and air injection).

 

 

I bought mine new in 1997 from Tavistock chainsaws when I did my forestry nvq with Tavistock woodland services. Used on and off for about 5 years.

 

Can anyone recommend someone who could rebuild it and possibly port it and do a muffler mod. I live in Hungerford but work all over hants, and I'm in no rush to get it done

 

Thanks will

Spud is your man ! He has ported most of my saws . It has made a huge difference . Give him a PM . I post mine to him . I think 254 responds well to some porting ......

The first one I did literally scared me it was so different when I ran it up:blushing:

My 254xp 15"" bar is kept for big jobs! It has been to Spud for a slight seizure cure, (new piston) now running better than ever I usually use the green 40cc with 16"" bar as everyday saw, just snedding etc

Talking of things in sheds, was given this by a client the other day, Mac110 1977-1983 still works, even has a chain brake!

Great, didn't think so many would still be using them!

Stubby-Thanks for suggesting spud, his saws have always sounded good.

Spud-I'll pm you in the next few weeks when I go back home and collect the saw, are there different levels of porting to give a happy medium of power and reliability?

The porting I do will be for every day use and should give good power increase whilst not giving detrimental decreases in operating hours.

Thanks spud, Just what i want

Not 254's, but we use 242's and 42 specials still quite a bit, .

 

Dug my 42 Special out of the shed last week. Hasn't been touched for about 10 years. Cleaned plug and filter. Started perfectly and runs fine!
