Getting a couple 262 this week, oldies.....

Tor

Good luck with the 262's I really like those saws. As for the changes I really think they were small EPA type items, but not sure. If they don't work out I am always looking for parts. KZ

The IPLs will tell you the part number changes (the IPLs are on the US and Swedish websites + more) - but they will of course not tell what the changes were about.

A few of the more important changes were the change from the HDA-87 carb to the smaller -120 and 117 at a very early stage (1991?), the addition of a decomp to the cylinder in 1994, and the change to a metal clutch cover around 1986/87.

It's a pity with that jug, I doubt it can be salvaged, but I am not sure? Those reportedly are the best 262xp jugs, but I'm not an expert....

All parts adds up with the expected time-line.
