Husky 262XP Basic Modifications

[Gypo Logger]

Today on the workbench we have a 262XP professional that we will do a mild port job on to see how much gain can be had with a few basic changes.
Here's the stock saw with only a muffler mod.

Here are two piston types for comparison. The top piston comes from our test saw, the 262XP (48mm), while the bottom piston comes from a 362XP (47mm).
Note how the 262 piston has windows on each side of the wrist pin.
Lets take our round file and remove any casting imperfections on the piston and polish things up with our saw builders secret weapon.. Scotchbrite.

ok, where's the modded vid? or is it still in the works? Sounds like it bogs a little more than i like to see.....did you time it?

 

[Gypo Logger]

If it was bogging I don't think it will be when I'm finished lol
The saw is still in the works. Here's the finished piston waiting to be polished.

Hey John that log looks a little punky to me. Don't see any chips flying in the video neither-just flour. Suggest you knock off those mushrooms too before the final test shoot-dead giveaway! Just kidding-appreciate your informative articles.

Crofter better get over here and mess up this thread, you're making him look stupid again gypo! Don't you know you can't just file and sand all over the inside of a saw all willy nilly like that!

Mike, I appreciate your attempt to help de-mystify the illusion that others are trying to perpetuate that basic saw mods are out of the realm of those that want to get some gains out of their saws and have some fun at the same time.
