I just rebuilt a Husky 254. It seems like a snappy saw for its displacement. Im wondering what others think of the 254. I like it so far. Thank in advance Rob

My girlfriend has a camera on her computer. I dont have a camera. When she comes home from work I will have her snap some.
most all 2 series huskies are exceptional saws
It will surely outcut my 346 NE.

Great saws. My dad gave me one 10 years ago and only thing I've done is a 262 hda 144 and muffler mod. Eats 346's for lunch.
My saw has the Hda 35 . I also have a second saw with the same carb.
How does your saw run with an hda 144

Runs great. Picked up some torque.
I couldnt ask for much more for starting with the hda 35. One snap of the wrist and shes running!

Rob066, did you figure out the issue with it dying? The 254 is the cream of the crop for any saw in it's size range. It's got a bad attitude for sure. I don't think I could ever sell mine.
Tank vent want venting right. She runs good Pics above after cutting up some pine

They really aren't a 50cc class saw in terms of size and weight. They are the same platform as the 257/261/262 which is to say 60cc. They are only 3cc's apart from a 357 which is stronger and smoother. That said, they are a very sweet saw. I've only owned one. I was very impressed with the power with only a MM and gasket delete.

I thought they were in a different family? They certainly feel lighter and more nimble than a 262
Not quite the same as a 257/261/262. The 254 has a different crank which is dedicated to the 254 only with a different stroke. Different muffler too for the shorter stroke. The muffler is shared with the 51 and 55
