Help identify huskvarna

[Miguel Ganchas]

Hi , I`m new here so, if this isnt the right place to ask, please move the thread

I Bought this old Husky, runs ok but i think has low compression and the brake is broken.

i have seen some photos in the net and im confused.

the brake handle is in metal and i cant see the nothing in the identifing plate.

Is it a XP, a SE XP, a XPG ?

does it makes difference to order new parts? (piston ring and brake)?

another thing i`ve noticed, there is a plastic part behind the clutch, is normal to move or has to fixed to de clutch?

thanks!

Miguel

Welcome to the site. You have a true Frankensaw right there. It may well have been a 268...or not....top covers get changed out frequently one thing for certain, what ever it once was, it now sports either a 625 or 670 Jonsered top end and carb/intake as well as the choke pull. If it a 670 (50MM bore) the ring would be the same as a 268 Husky or a 625 (48MM bore) the same as a 61 Husky. My guess is it's a 625 top end.....but you won't know until you measure to find if it's a 48mm or 50 mm bore.
The brake looks to be the old style but any later Husky brake/clutch cover for this family will work.

Thank`s! it really seems to me to be strange.... , now its explained...

So, for start, i need to disassemble the top end and see if is 48 or 50mm, to get a new ring.. right?

Now, for complicate the things:

if is a 48mm can i upgrade-it to a 50 or 52 with that carb/intake? or not?

thank`s

You can get a close enough measure by removing the muffler and insert a thin piece of wood or box board with a rounded or pointed end all the way into the cyl and turn the flywheel by hand until the piston makes contact then put a enough pressure to show on the insert then measure that.

If it's a 48MM the only way to upgrade to larger will require a new P&C. That Jonsered carb won't work on any thing bigger than a 50MM (670) To go to a 52MM you would have to get the 272 Husky intake and carb.

Looking at your first pic closely I can see now that this saw was very likely a 268 originally as it has the later one piece ign.

Not very accurate but close enough to tell what size bore you have and easier than taking the whole thing apart.

Is a 50mm piston, so is a 66 cc, right?

Yep....66.8-67 cc depending on what you read
