262 is about 12.8 vs 268 is 16.09

Your way off..

So my ported open port 268 is probably like a stock 262 only considerably heavier? Dam that sucks

Non xp 268 4.4hp
Xp 268 4.8hp
272xp 5.2hp

You are right. And also your weight is closer. Pho will be more like 14.

Thanks Mark for the cold hard truth!

Sorry memory isnt what it used to be. You should have just weighed them to begin with

 

[M&Rtree]

I always add .2 pounds or so to whatever Husqvarna states the weight as.

The later 262's don't run as good. But your probably right mostly.

Whats that suppose to mean? I did weigh them both a long time ago.

Meant nothing by it. Didnt know those pics where old. Good thing you had them for just such an occasion. You could have kept me from looking dumb. Ha

262 weight seems to differ a lot.

I didn't post them to make you look dumb, you done a good job of that already.

I weigh a lot of the saws that I get when first go over them. I weigh them for myself and my own records.

Then I know when someone around here is BS's or trying to piss on my leg and tell me that its raining or that I must have a open port saw.

They will if you weigh them on different scales...

That scale of mine isn't perfect, its constantly 2 oz lighter then the Post Office scale

 

[M&Rtree]

I agree. Or when not cleaned first!

Google has let me down again......sheesh

Or like I just noticed, missing parts like recoil handles

 

[M&Rtree]

I caught that also. It did have an outer felling spike though.

You seen the picture of my saw, a XP closed port. I know a thing or two about them.

All I was saying was the 268XP has been talked up on this site for years about being so great.

Well I have a nice one and its ok, just don't impress me that much after all the hoopla about them. If only running 20" bars I'd rather run my 262. I just don't think the 268XP is all that with 24" bars in hardwood, thats all. I have worked the saw as well, real world stuff, not just cutting cookies in the back yard.

I have other saws in close to the 268's displacement that will run a 24 or longer just as good or better, thats all. View attachment 422520

Well, the max power rating of the 268xp and the 262xp actually was the same, so that way what you say adds up better than the ones saying the 268xp is much stronger.

However, the power bands will still be different, and the max power rating is just a "snapshot" of the highest point on the power curve. Max power is at higher rpm in the 262xp than in the 268xp.

 

[SawTroll]

I've seen from 12.8-13.2 for the 262 and 13.7-13.9 for the 268-272xp.
365 special

Metal vs. the plastic clutch cover likely is partially responsible for the spread in 262xp weight. The covers were plastic up to some point in 1996 or so.

I always add .2 pounds or so to whatever Husqvarna states the weight as.

Sadly, it isn't that simple....
