A few months back i bought a 262 off ebay. Nice little saw but it seems far too weak for what people are saying about them. I havent ran it much for fear of wrecking something. I tach'd the saw and it is running about 11,000 which is obviously too low. Problem is you cant get anymore out of it. I checked compression and its at about 110 pounds after 15 pulls. I havent made covers to do a leakdown test yet. I am on the fence on whether to just tear it completely down and totally go through it or just leakdown test and probably throw in a meteor piston and maybe clean up a little in the cylinder intake and exhaust ports. Looks like this muffler could use a little help as well. Maybe im overlooking something too who knows, thats why i ask the experts. The saw seems to rev quick and starts easy. Could a leaky compression release cause these same symptoms?
