I worked on a husky 266xp for my buddy over summer. He said "get it running." So I brought it home and pulled it prolly 50 times after I put fresh gas in it. It wouldn't start. The carb was unbolted.....hahaha...I wonder why it wouldn't start....lol So I bolted it back on and tightened everything. The muffler bolts where also VERY loose. So I tightened them, and pulled it prolly 20 more times and it putted. I pulled it 4 more times and I got it running. I tuned the L screw and the idle screw and got her purring perfect. But the saw was still a mess. It needed a bar, chain, chainbrake, sparkplug, fuelfilter, sproket, dawgs, top cover bolts. It ran pretty good though. It would hold its own with a stihl 038 that's for sure. I'm thinking of buying it from the guy....as he prolly hasn't used it since I worked on it.....lol:greenchainsaw:
