The piston exploded on my Husky 266xp and took out the cylinder head and piston along the way. Does anyone know if the 268xp cylinder head and piston will work with the 266xp? I know the intake bolts are different on the head. If I got the carburetor adapter and the longer bolts off the 268xp...

Piston Still Moves It is strange, even with all the destruction the piston still moves up and down. I am currently tearing down the saw. My neighbor told me that I could just have it, now that it is dead. He said that he would just throw the saw away or use it for parts being the way that it...

Bottom End It is true that the saw had not been used for sometime prior to my using it. I am sure that didn't help much. From what I have found recently points to a possible rod bearing detonation. I know that if bearings sit for a long while moisture gets to them, then they pit. Which may...

Repair Thanks for your reply and offer. But, do you think it is worth repairing? It won't pull.

Great Idea Great Idea!:clap: I like it.

Hello, I have a Husqvarna 266xp saw that has seized on me. My neighbor let my Dad and I use it to see if we wanted to trade another one of our saws. He told us that we should at least try the saw before we traded him, which I assume is fair. This saw had been hotroded as the air filter...

It looked like a G. Sorry it looked like a G, not an O. Thanks for the clarification.

I was at my Grandpa's house this weekend and he told me he had an old saw. I told him that I would like to look at it. He said that he never even tried to fire it up but it had a good chain and bar on it. It was an GR LINE 123. I looked at it and it seemed like it had a model airplane engine...

Thank you everyone!!! I wanted to thank everyone here for pushing me towards a new dealer. I took the saw to another dealer and they are granting me a new saw. They do not make the 350 anymore, so they will be giving me a e450, which is similar to the 350. Anyways, thank you everyone here for...

Running Again! Hello Everyone, Thanks to everyone here I have got my saw running again. I installed the diaphram incorrectly, I didn't attach the diaphram to the needle valve assembly, so it didn't work at all. It just poured gas all over the place. I installed it correctly and it...

Authorized Service Dealer Hello all, I have taken the saw to an Authorized Service Dealer a little bit out of town. They do warranty repair work for Home Depot and Jerry's (similar to Home Depot, only better customer service, yet higher prices. I was polite and kind to the people there...

It seems to be getting fuel. It appears to be receiving gasoline because the spark plug is fouled. This is strange because now I have gone from too little of fuel to too much fuel. If I tip the saw over fuel comes out the exhaust. I think I may have installed the diaphram incorrectly, now maybe...

Husqvarna 351 Mixup Someone at the saw shop told me that the the Husqvarna 351 was the predecessor. Apparently he was also full of ####. Well you can't trust everyone. Or anyone? Thanks for the clarification Trollman.

Diaphram and Muffler After installing the diaphram and filter the saw will not start. I pulled and pulled but nothing. There seems to be vapor coming out of the exhaust, so I think maybe I didn't put the diaphram in correctly. Maybe? Also, the diaphram felt really flimsy and weak. There was a...

2 bolts? Come on! The chain isn't really the issue. The issue is the piston and cylinder being scored and it running poorly. I think that I will not use this brand or dealer any longer as they have not been helpful or even offered to do any warranty work. They have been just charging me for...

Some kind of formula? Is there some kind of formula that you can use based on the cc of your engine, the average diameter of the wood, and the type of wood? Just wondering or maybe I getting to scientific here. It would be nice to have a formula though.

Yes, it oiled. The saw did squirt oil as it should. I also claimed that it was similar to a 91, not a 91. I believe it was the chain that you mentioned in your last post. The bar was bad because we had pinched it and used the #### out of it. We're pretty rough with stuff out here. Regardless, I...

Warranty Yes, I figured it would be covered by the 2 year warranty but Mr. Chainsaw told me that we did not maintain the fasteners. They said that I was using in commerically (30 day)but that is not true. We don't use it in that fashion and if I did it probably would have not made it week if I...

It had a .385 sprocket on it. It had a.385 sprocket and a small chain, similar to a 91. I wanted to run something that I could get anywhere in Oregon, like a 72/72. Also, I wanted something that could cut. I figured a 52cc engine could take a 20" bar with a more meaty chain. The bar was...

Hello Fellow Arborists, This is quite a long story and I thought that I would get some advice from the people in this forum, as I have been quite successful with the information provided here. Anyways, my Dad had been using a McCulloch Timberbear 650 for about 20 year so and it was...
