Sweet, those are good saws.
Is that one an open or closed port.
365, maybe a 365 special?
Could be a 362, but not many of those around.
Wait, thats a 2 series lol.
Dang phone screen is to small.

Chipper, you think so? With that chain brake?? I thought a 2 series or a 55.....
I’m gonna guess 268, but for his sake hope and pray 272

261 with a 262 piston in her belly.
I'm on my computer now, I saw it's a 2 series, right after I got on here.
But I edited my post before he said it was

Sweet, I LOVE my 262
You shoulda grabbed the one I just sold lol.
They are good ole saws, I'd rather have a ported 357 though, which is why I sold that one
.What's funny is I very rarely run it, because I like to go right from a 50 to a 70.
I should run it when I take down a large maple that's waiting for the weather to work, maybe later this week if the ground freezes good and solid.

chipper, I’m working on a deal for four Huskys. A 460, 357, 266 and one that the guy isn’t sure. Ones a runner, two are burned up and the 460 he said wasn’t worth his time to look at.
old farmer at work, he dreams about John Deere and Stihl, swears nothing else’s worth his time.....
Did he run them all, where did he get them if not, wondering because of his stihl preference.
I have a buyer for the 266 if you are interested in selling it I will set you up with him.
The 359/357's are great saws, I think the 359's are very under rated, much like the 261 was.
Base gasket delete and a muffler mod and they wake right up, little porting and they get fast and are very easy to work on.
Main problem with them is the carbs, which is nothing a rebuild kit and a quick mod to the carb cover(drill a hole) fixes.
There were some of the 357's that had an auto decomp, they had quite a few problems with them. Those you remove the lower portion of the tube and tap the hole, loctite a set screw in to block it and they are fixed, that is if the top end wasn't burnt up. Most guys also replace the plastic intake clamps on the 359/357 if they have them, I've never had a problem with one loosening up. My theory is that when the chains are not well cared for the saws overheat(worse on the ones with a cat muffler), once that happens the clamp looses it's shape/holding power and the intake leaks.
460's aren't bad, just not the best power to weight, but they;; bring in the firewood and will run a 24 if needed.

His neighbor, he’s older then George who’s 66. Doesn’t cut anymore and gave them all to George. When it didn’t start, he’s just go out a buy a new one.....
When they’re at my place I’ll let you know

Most of my saws don’t need a retune and I try to only run saws when it’s above zero. But both of these absolutely needed to be richened up.
This is why my saws start right up when it’s 4 degrees out. I keep them in the sauna overnight. Have about 100 gallons of water for thermal mass out there so it will stay above freezing for a couple of days after we have a sauna.
I let them dry out and then put them back in the garage.

Matt said the same thing lol.
Here's the 357 Tdriller ported, I've been considering listing it, I just don't run the 60cc saws much.

357 ported would be a darn near perfect saw.
Hey Kiwi, looks like some good rain over the fire grounds in the next week. Maybe your aunt's place will be ok after all.
Matt, my Tax Season does not start until 2/1.
Also, the Walmart does still sell 22s and shotgun shells, just no handgun ammo or 223. They no longer show any ammo on their website!

1) It is not Tax Season
2) Have you noticed … despite all the Husky cheering … when the going gets tough he wishes for the relative with all the Stihls to show up!!!
