I just picked up a 262xp. I called local dealers he says it was made in 1993. I got it for 50 bucks and was told it doesn't run and will take a lot to make it run. I pulled rope and it spun over good, so I figured I'll see if I can get it going. I got home and pulled spark plug, got spark. Looking every thing over I found the problem, fuel line broke in half. 6 bucks at dealer, 15 min. to put it in and a few pulls later it fired right up. Now that the history is out of the way comes the questions.
1) What should the compression be, and what is acceptable?
2) After doing some reading here it seems that these saws have a different piston, jug and clutch than a 262, is this right?
3) This is the first pro type saw i have owned, with its age is there any thing I need to look for?
I did make a few cuts with it and it did great, big difference between it and my 455. Thanks in advance for your replies.
