I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the torque specs are for the cylinder bolts, spark plug and muffler bolts for a 1982 Husqvarna 266 se ? I've been all over the web looking for this info and I'm guessing you folks are my best bet. Thanks for any info you can provide.
 
ok, my workshop manual doesnt cover 266....BUT,

262 head bolts are 9nm, 261,268 and 272 head bolts are 10nm

so between 9 and 10 should do it.

muffler bolts on all these saws are 10nm for the long bolt that passes through the muffler and 6nm for the small bolt that fixes the muffler mount.

20nm for sparkplug on 262

15nm for sparkplug on 261,268 and 272

cheers, Serg

10 is my guess, it is basically the same as the 268, not the 262 that belong to a dofferent family of saws (smaller and lighter).

266xp

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: :cheers: :clap: :)
