262XP Day

[SawTroll]

Depends on what year. But the 61,266,268,272 are the same chassis. But in the later years they introduced an intake boot amongst other changes.

There were lots of changes, but basically the same - and you left out the original, that was the 162, in 1975.

This has nothing to do with the 262 though, that was developed on the smaller 154/254 platform, that appeared in 1983.

minor derail........will a 262 jug direct bolt on a late 61? and if so will it be a great improvement?

It would have been; if it was possible - but I am about 99.999% sure it isn't. The bore and stroke is the same, but it hardly helps when the saws are totally different constructions.

The 61 belongs to the 162 family, not the 154 family that the 262 belongs to.

I like this photo, I like it ALOT!

Your saw came together very well Roger. I had a spare tank even.......no blisters anywhere now.

I was really looking for that in the first photos and didn't see it. Thought I'd be in the next set of builds. Then I saw the jugs and got excited. .

Your saw is the one Jon is putting together in this thread.

At least I think it is.

Lots more machine work is the first thing for today. Right now I'm printing a few shipping labels.

What are the blisters from. I have one that has blisters on the air filter cover. Seems odd

It looks like someone sat Roger's saw down too close to a fire.

Looking to see this thread develop. I love my 262. I hope I don't want it ported after this.
