How do I remove a tank vent on a 268 Husvarna

[IchWarriorMkII]

It will spin, but not thread out.


Does it need to be forced out? Is it just a snap in fit? The replacement part is a threaded type... so replacement is fairly straight forward, if the old one could be removed.

Thread a metal screw in the vent and use a plier to pull it out.

Lordy, I'm sorry, Ich, I'd totally help you out on this one. I have three busted handles at home that I'd experiment on in a second. Regrettably, I'm on the road and I won't see the place for a week or so.

Could someone else help Ich out?

Ill try the screw trick... is it just set in with an O-ring?


No worries andre... I gots time, nothin but time

Check this thread...Grande Dog has a link in post #6 to a service bulletin for a replacement vent. It shows the friction fit.

ich, is this a fuel or an oil tank you are asking about? i need info on the fuel tank vent on my 262. it will leak a little fuel when it is full and is turned on its side.

Silly me, its a fuel tank vent.


Its become problematic, won't vent properly at all times.

i ordered a replacement yesterday. i haven't taken the saw apart, but as cheap as this part is, i decided to go ahead and replace it.
do you know if you have to seperate the handle and tank portion to get to the vent? i did a cursory check, but the leak i have was minor and the saw run fine as-is, and it was not worth the time to do a more in-depth check saturday morning.

Ill be looking forward to your report tomorrow then :chainsawguy:

(262). i got to run it about 4 hours yesterday.
