Husqvarna 162 61 262 266 268 272 parts interchangeable?

I bought a whole (272) cylinder, gasket and bearing kit fedexed from china for $60 canadian.. yeah, they're available and cheap.. on a 'good' saw I would stick with OEM though.

I did manage to make the 61 adapter block work on the 272 cylinder with a lot of dremel work.

Got any pics of the Dremel work?

 

[Rx7man]

no.. I had to oval out one of the mounting stud holes, and then port match the rest of it... make sure the impulse line doesn't get moved too far off.. I may have had to oval some of those ports out too.. Saw is assembled so I can't get any pics

The 262 had some years where they used a brass worm gear to drive the oiler. The crank seal was mounted in the case and not in the oiler. Worm gear has to be pulled to change the seal. I am not sure if any other models in the 2 series had this but I know the 262 did.
vid by Mattyo on it.

The 262 is part of a diff family, 154 254 257 261 262 being the biggest of them. Been awhile so not sure I named them all

If it was really a former concrete cutting saw I would be checking the entire engine for excessive wear.
Concrete and metal cutting saws are in an abrasive environment, P&C and crank wear were bad in many cases. Many factory air filters were poor and the engines didn't last long. I'd be checking the conrod big-end bearing for wear before going too far,plus cyl. and piston clearance.

Often there was no chrome left on the cyl. on the intake side,where all the grime came in.

You got it right about the "154 family", that the 262xp belongs to.

It is, but the topic always will be relevant, as it is about one of the best saw models ever made..

One of the fellers used a 262 and loved it. The 266 & 268 followed it.
