Duce, Wasn't trying to start something, but I appreciate your advise. Thanks

Yes sir, I removed the flywheel to replaced the seals just to make sure she was not sucking air and I stripped her down gave her a good cleaning before I started the rebuild. Basically took everything apart except splitting the case. I will check on to make sure its tight. Yep talked to him...

Thanks Rupedoggy, I did just that and she came alive. Man feels like a new saw. This flywheel is no longer available (5035294-01) do you think I need to find a used one and change it out? Thanks Again, Ray

This is her!

Wood Dr. I found the problem. The flywheel key is sheared. And would you know its milled in, really don't understand why they went to these. Reckon Ill be hunting a new flywheel. I really appreciate your help. I'm an HVAC person by trade, if I can ever help give me a shout. Thanks Again, Ray

Thanks Wood Doctor. I was trying to being nice, DA.N was short for DAMN! Yes sir it turns over as expected. Just not sure if the excess oil is whats causing my problem. I pulled on her till my arm hurt, part of that was getting her clean and dried out. I'm sure I flooded her once or twice...

Well got her put back together everything looked great. Vacuum and pressure test held. Had to search two counties for new muffler bolts. Ended up getting some that were to long and cutting them to fit. Kit came with the wrong carb gasket and had to make one of those. Other than those couple...

Thanks for the advise and info. Parts are on the way. I will most certainly do a pressure and vacuum test. Still not sure what caused this to happen. I believe it was getting air from somewhere because it was running erratic. Got new seals on the way, is there anything else you all...

Thanks rearview!

Sorry, did not realize you could not request that info, I apologize. Many Thanks!

Good deal. Thanks Trent!

Thanks Duce, OEM, is not available anymore. You have a recommended source?

Thanks for the info. Yep I believe she's got an air leak. The saw belong to a good friend of mine, I know he did not have a gas mix problem. I'll be replacing the seals also. Guess I better pull it apart before I order the kit just in case it only needs a piston. Thanks Again

The cylinder wall is pretty well scarred from looking at the piston. Can you tell me if the 262 kit a direct replacement? Tks Ray

Thanks, The cylinder wall was pretty scarred up. Will a 262xp jug fit the 261 saw? I think both are 48mm but was not sure if they would match up. Thanks Ray

Thanks Wood DR. Nice looking saw. Can you tell me the best place to purchase a new jug assembly for a 261, and a recommended brand. Thanks Ray

Looking for recommendation where to purchase new topend / jug for 261 husky and recommend brand. Found several that have a wide range in price. I want to make sure I buy quality parts no china junk, if possible. Also whats recommendation on buying short block vs just top end, (burnt piston)...

Good deal. Andyshine77 thanks for the info. rt

Can someone please give me the minimum compression on this saw and still perform as a weekender use? Thanks, Ray
