My father-in-law has lots of chainsaw carcasses in the basement, which of those, I found a couple 268s and I think a 61.
There are a few cylinders laying around but I would like to go with a 272 top end, which I did order a farmertec P&C with caber rings. I know, not great, but I already had an order in for other parts and they were cheap to try out.
My thoughts:
272 top end
new crank seals (are hyway lip seals ok? or is genuine the only way to go?)
Port and derestrict exhaust
.020 squash setting
Anything else that should be inspected on these saws?
What are some other mods that can be done? and are there difference carbs to "look out for"
Are there any Jonsered parts that interchange with these?
