So I have a 266se thats my favorite saw, a poulan 42cc of some kind that hits above its weight class. I also have 3 saws I bought for spare parts/the longer bars that were on them, since my 266 only had an 15 when i got it. I got a 266 for parts, although it runs its got a COMPLETELY pulled out exhaust stud, so i bought it for parts at a fair price. I did steal the trigger lock and and better trim off it but it is complete. A while back I got a 52mm cyl/piston kit to rebuild the saw, but i discovered it already has 155psi cold compression, so its still on the shelf with just the trim stolen of it. The 61 is a complete unknown. I know its not much of a saw so I wonder if I could drop the "268" cyl on it? I don't want to use the cyl kit on the spare 266 because it still has fine compression, and I later realized the intake is different, so i would need a carb and intake block thingy to upgrade the saw. If i need to replace all that stuff, why not just upgrade the 61 instead. however I have no idea if it will fit, short of taking it apart, but I'm lazy and got 5 cords to buck an split, so don't want to waste the time right now.
