I got to run my ported 262 with a friend who had a stock 372. I was very impressed with 262. It noticeably outcut the 372.

Good thing it wasn't 261 day, there'd be a bunch of snagged rings

a Mastermind 262xp eliminates the need to own a 70cc saw for most

Yours looks strong for not being finger ported. Terry is known to do great work though.

I would like to run a MM 262 but I cant see the need to get rid of my WWS 262. Of course one of each sounds nice

Funny I was thinking husky 261. Then it just popped in my head. But you beat me to it. Thanks Jer!

Why not have both?
Why not have both?
Which jug works better when porting the 262? Mahle or ks. Does the hda 87 work well with both cylinders?
I'll let mm answer that one....
Question on oil seals
....the metal seal holder on flywheel side...is the whole thing one piece? I have a plastic seal holder too and it seems to use the usual oil seal inside it.... the metal one looks different though. ..pics of the metal one dismantled?

Why do you like the 350 better? And why are you selling the 262?View attachment 426480 it runs fine
I think I'll grab my husky 350 most often...but this is a nice addition to my lineup...got 2 more coming too
Do you not like it?

Probably because of the weight.
350/346 are real light/nimble machines.
I have only run the 262 a tiny bit. I can see how I'd like it...and I will be building one for myself....but I tend to over buy things...and so I end up doing a few saws all at the same timg and selling some...I'll have two rebuilt saws for sale eventually
...I really can't afford to keep them all...so i sell off what I don't need and have fun in the process. ..and resurrect a saw or two!
The 350 is so cheap to run and light and parts are easy to obtain and super easy to work on that it makes it a no brainer to use most often around the house. But I will have fun with the 262

Awesome!!!
What is the earliest 262 that you guys have? I have one with serial #0070070 - so the 7th week of 1990 and the 70th saw that week. Since 1990 was the first production year, this was fairly early.
