Long shot, anyone have an HDA 87 that won't cost me my first born child?

Picked up this 262xp, came with a KS jug/120 carb. Would like to upgrade, and later down the line port the saw. I know I'll see max potential with the 87 so who's got what??

Thanks!
Ryan

You can convert a 198 carb to 87 specs. Same top end performance with better manners than the 87. There is a thread on the “forbidden site” regarding the swap.

FWIW, there is zero performance difference between a 120 vs an 87 in a stock 262. On a ported saw there is clearly a difference.

Here’s a converted 198 I did.
