    262 rebuild power

    I have a Husqvarna 262 to rebuild. Are these aftermarket cylinder kits that Baileys sells of the same closed port design and produce the same high torque and power as the original oem's do? Does anyone have experience in the power comparison? Thanks, Stevie

    Baileys 262 cyl. assy

    Maybe someone can help me with a problem. I have a 257 and I bought the aftermarket 262 cylinder/piston from Baileys to put on it. It bolts right on no problem except it wouldn't pump gas. So I took the carb off and saw the problem. The pulse hole on the 262 cyl. is over to the side whereas the...

    Husky 272XP Problems

    I assume you know that on that one the diaphram metal probe thing hooks into the inlet lever. It doesn't sit on top of it like most carbs do. Stevie

    Redrilling of bars from K041 to K095

    yes I do this all the time to set my carving saws up with 3/8 lo-pro. All I do is take a dremmel with any old grinding wheel and make a groove from the top of that 041 bar down to the oiler/pin hole. I do this on both sides so I can turn it over. That's all I do. It takes about 30 seconds to do...

    Seeking advice from saw carvers??

    You have a lot of questions there. I am only going to hit on a couple as I can't even remember them all. GB is making 1/4 pitch rim sprockets and even Baileys sells them. So that is the way to set up for 1/4 pitch. Yes it will work so much better on the carving bars,even the quarter tip. There...

    Stihl 044 Pressure Leak

    Back when I worked in the shop I found this to be a common leak on these saws. I always packed the spacer with grease and it always worked. That is what the Stihl techs told me to do also. It's not really a matter of wear, Just metal against metal with nothing there to insure a seal. It doesn't...

    Poulan Carb Adjustment Tool

    service tool service tool part # is 530035560. Retail is about $5.50. This is actually a pretty good idea as they get out of putting on limiter caps. Anybody who can order a poulan part can get you one. If you can't find one I could mail you one. Thanks, Stevie Songer

    Help on buying saw

    What are the tradeoffs with a modded saw

    Huh? It could be just coincidence that the hearing went at the same time as running the saw. I don't know? It's not that it's that loud, it's just that same deep drone pitch ??? for several hours a day held up close to the body. StevIE

    What are the tradeoffs with a modded saw

    What about hearing damage? I have ran stock saws for the last 3 years, about 1000 hours per year. I wear good ear muffs. I have lost considerable hearing ability just using these stock saws. I would be interested in the mod saws if not for the increased noise. StevIE

    how to tell if a used saw has been taken care of

    Neither do you want the piston to be slick and shiney. That indicates wear. You want to see a cross-hatch pattern. Stevie
