272xp

I am so thankful for this forum and so much wisdom and encouragement shared here. I have a well used 272xp, actually 268 that was converted and my dad bought it for me well used after the conversion. It was my first saw after using father in laws poulon wild thing for a few years. The 272 has...

I just picked up a 272xp, Im trying to figure out the year the tab reads 4060278, saw has no decomp, but top cover has a whole for the decomp. Any help would great thanks

Just wanted to hear from folks who have had any experience with a ported 272xp and their thoughts good or bad. Considering having work done to mine but wanted to know if it was worth it.

Bought this from a local shop this fall and wanted it for a project but time just isn't on my side and this saw deserves to get more attention than im giving it. It runs but not well and i've rebuilt the carb with little positive affect. I believe it might have a small air leak or the carb is...

Looking for a good to great condition 272xp top cover. Thanks!

Was given a 268xp - no background on it, covered in caked on bar oil/chips. Pulled the muffler to have a look at it and no scoring at all, looks like whoever was running it didn’t have any problems with it before it was retired. Kept cleaning and pulling it apart and after taking the oiler...

Weeding out some of my collection. Original - Super Clean saw, plastic is still shiny, runs great, comes with almost new bar and chain. Not too many 272's left in this condition. Saw in in NJ or can ship pretty reasonably. $500 obo

Looking for a 272xp OEM Top Cover in very good condition with correct oem decals. Might be interested in other oem 272xp parts so let me know what you got. Thanks

I just picked up a broken 268XP. It has low compression & the bore has visible scoring with the muffler off. I will strip the saw over the next couple of days & post pics as I go. I'm figuring on rebuilding with a 272XP top-end, but want to know what mods people have done to these saws to get...

So I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my dad's old work saw, it's a 272xp from 98 and its got a fresh jug ring and cylinder. If I dump a little gas in the carb air intake it fires right up. Replaced the fuel line which was a real pain in the arse. Now I'm having trouble with the gas tank...

I need a NIB fuel breather for a 272xp part # 501629601 Thanks Adam

I am working on a 272 I should have left alone. It is missing a lot. I could use a parts saw with a recoil, decent flywheel crankcase half, muffler, bracket for muffler, clutch, and carb assembly. I may have some of these parts in the mystery box, but it would be simpler to pull it off of...

Bought a local 272xp from a small engine shop (husky dealer) after lurking here a week . Owner said it has new piston and spark plug (probably more new parts), compression of 140. The fuel filter and line look new. First day it died when idling. Second day I ran it for an hour till out of gas...
