I would think the 625 one would fit - pretty much the same saw!
Well i got lucky!! I have bought and paid for a husky 61 chain brake off Ebay. £15 delivered, i think thats around 30-40 US dollars. I cant wait to get it all working properly!
Thank you Cantdog! The handle on the cover i have bought is the old metal type. I really hope it fits now!lol. I cant wait to get the brake working. At least then i'll feel a little more comfortable using it. Its my first chainsaw that i've owned and it feels alright to use but i havent got much experience with other saws to compare it too.
Thank you very much. If i could i'd buy you a beer! At least it fits which is the most important thing. Once again thank you for checking this out for me, much appreciated. This site is the dogs danglies, the best!
Glad to help!! Good luck!! Let us know what you find out.
Thanks again Eric for the help with the rear handle/trigger parts on my 630. I have used this saw a lot in the last yr. Good looking 670 BTW did you find the top handle a bit close with the aftermarket cover? The stock one just touches on mine and would probably wear quickly with the flexing of the AV mounts. Again maybe spacing......
OK Here's the deal with the Husky 61 metal handled clutch cover/chain break.
On close inspection on two different Jreds and the Husky 61; first it will bolt right on with the break, clutch and bar studs all in alignment. However the Jred top handle is shaped differently than the Husky and it seems to interfere slightly with the very top of the clutch cover on both Jreds I have. You may be able to space the cover off enough to eliminate this. Worst case is to cut the cover to the shape of the original Jred cover. This can be easily accomplished by simply following the backside of the sawdust deflector and sawing this back part of the Husky cover away. The 630 I have with the Husky cover was a real beat work saw when it came to me (free) missing parts and nonrunning. The cover was just broken off (like with a hammer!!) so I cleaned it up on a wood cutting bandsaw and painted it red. Now I can assume the previous owner just beat the metal away until it fit. I put a new Meteor piston in this saw and ported it to about 58% and it runs and work perfectly now. Good luck with your cover, you'll see what I mean when you go to put it on the saw. Again you may be able to space it off enough to overcome this interference. It comes real close to clearing and may on your saw as my handles may have been bent slightly or not.
I'd be interested in a short description of the porting you did to the 266 husky.
I don't have a 266 the one I was speaking of is a 630 Super II. I widened the intake and exhaust port to about 58% of the bore diameter. Cleaned up the transfers as best I could with a regular dremel. I also enlarged the windows in the piston as much as seemed feasible and cleaned up irregular casting marks to achieve as much flow as possible. Then just smoothed everything out and matched the intake to the carb. If you use the search engine on the site you can find loads of info by more experienced porters/builders than me. That's where I got my info. The 61/268XP in my sig I did the same just took it to 63% and changed out the 163A carb to a 250A from a 670 Super II Jred. That saw is real strong, starts and runs perfectly.
