Pressure at 30 mins was still 7psi, at 1.5hrs still above 5 psi. Vacuum, it took over 5 minutes to drop from 15.5 to 15 inHg…. I’d say she’s pretty tight

There’s an old name from the past 😀. Hope you’re well mate 👍👍 Yep I think he’s on to it… Re did a new temp cylinder gasket, and it now takes over 5 minutes to drop from 10 psi to 9 psi under pressure, and the decomp is blowing tiny little bubbles. I’ll let it sit until it drops out or holds...

Definitely not, going through process of elimination before needing to pull the flywheel, clutch and removing oil pump…

I tried both pressure and vacuum, it won’t hold either. Pressure + soapy water is the easy way for me (unless it’s so obvious you can hear it lol) That’s how I found the cylinder gasket leaking. Very small bubbles on the flywheel side. I snugged the cylinder screws up , it reduced it some, but...

It does not hold at 12 inHg, that’s just the rate of drop. It drops out to zero.

Yep, metal clamp as I mentioned earlier. Made a dodgy cylinder gasket out of a Manila folder, even sprayed with hylomar but unfortunately it’s leaking a little. It takes 1 minute to drop from 15 to 12 inHg of vacuum The gasket might settle overnight. So before stripping again I’ll give a go...

I was hoping for the easy way out lol.... ive had my fun with saws and now focused on a my very custom Land Rover build. I managed to get the exhaust blocked, I have a fitting for spark plug hole and I think ill have to sandwich some rubber in between the carb and intake. Unfortunately the...

Yes the 266 has quite a small combustion chamber compared to similar saws. They are a ripper of a saw IMO, and if you work on your saws, there is nothing more user friendly than the older Husky 2 series. 266 Cylinder

Anything in particular to look out for? This one has the metal clip over the older plastic type that was troublesome.

Saw is completely stock. That seems to be just the fuel mix film. Im not sure why it left the intake window like that. It did sit for a while (4 months) before I stripped it down. I'll double check today but pretty sure it wiped off...

Sure does, but is it a fuel problem or air leak?

Not really. I always empty and run at idle until out of fuel before putting away as they don't get used regularly. I only use good fuel and oil (40:1) I filled it, primed and started it. It usually only takes 3 pulls to pop, then starts next pull. It did take a few more. Ran for a bit, used...

Hey blokes, its been a while..... Ive unfortunately seized my little Husky 346 XP new edition, well new in 2008 lol No idea why, ive never seized any of my 2t equipment before. I was thinking fuel/oil but dont think thats the case. Are these known to get an intake leak ? Any ideas welcome...

Hey blokes, its been a minute...... Im looking for Husky 346XP NE 2008 WSM and IPL please. Hope You're all well 👍

yep, correct good sir 17mm on the PTO side, 15mm on the flywheel side. So I guess that confirms 181?

When you say smaller bearing, is that OD or ID? The CS appears to have same dia both sides at counter weights. I’ll check when I’m home?

Hey all, found this NOS Husky crank in my boxes. part on crank is 501 81 15-01, but I can’t find what it is? Best guess is 181 or 281??? cheers Serg

Well there is nothing inside the cab anyway lol slow but good little engine

Nice Series III

Hey all, I’m thinking about selling my Husky 288 saw I built from GENUINE NOS parts (no Chinese) no idea what they are worth these days.... cheers Serg
