I bought 3 parts saws, I will be keeping one of them, and selling the other 2. This is the first one of the bunch up for sale. Its a 261 chassis, which was fine when I got it...so it has not been split. Crank seemed fine and there was no play in the bearings. I machined the chassis to optimize squish and build a 262xp ontop of it 
The P&C is oem, used. New caber ring. There is a total of maybe 3-4 minutes of run time so far on this saw for general tuning. I have it in the ballpark, but tuning will need to be optimized by the owner. New spark plug. Muffler has been opened up a bit, but retained the spark screen. Timing is around 103-118-72 just as Mastermind suggested. Now...before anyone gets upset that I'm using his numbers to make money, I'm selling this saw for what I have into it, not as profit. This was built as a learning experience for me, and as such I can't charge labor for the rebuild. Compression is at 175+ cold this morning. The carb is the hda120 ...not kitted, but I did take it apart and clean it...seems fine. It has a hyway decomp valve and base gasket. Everything is also greased, loctited blue/red, or loctite 515 on the gaskets. There will be a video on youtube eventually of the bolt for bolt build on this saw. I have all the footage but have not edited it.
The saw is not a looker, and the plastics are faded, but its got it where it counts...someone will have fun with this guy.
It is the saw in this thread ...I did take the sticker off.
