you guys are making me feel good about the decision to pick up that 262xp a few weeks back. i havent had the chance to really run her yet, but what little i did use it it seemed strong.

Stock 357XP (with well used Stihl RS but sharp chain) is faster through the blocks than the 64cc Dolmar in Makita skin (with new sharp LGX chain), I have tried it a few times in blocks up to roughly 17" diameter (didn't try anything bigger). The Makita is a nice saw, just a little slower and a tad heavier as noted by SawTroll.
Stihl gents I don't think the type of chain was the difference!
This is interesting as I have found the Husky to be faster too, but thought it might have been due to different chains on each. The makita has more torque, but the husky just finds a real sweet spot of high RPM power. I would like to compare with a 361 some day.
The real sleeper would be a 261 rebuilt as a 262xp (piston, muffler and clutch is all it takes).

You could always build a 346xp to take-on the 361.
Take one of those 50cc P/C and work on it!

I'm sure you can - but I understand the 361 takes well to mods as well.....
Well then, your going to need a bigger Husky!

There was 2 nice ones on Ebay.co.uk last week, they seem to go for about £120 or so, these ones looked very clean and had original bars with orange husky logo.
Just go out and buy a 361 .everyone is allways trying to improve on perfection

A 262 will whip a stock 361 easily and probably a muff moded one too.....I bet a 261 would give it a run for its money also.
