Good luck on those parts @PA Dan - we need to keep all the 262XP parts we can find to keep these saws going into the future. Have you been playing with your latest 262XP yet?

Carb kit came yesterday. Carb will go through the USC today. Just finished up night shift. Might rebuild the carb and see if she runs. I'll let ya know.

Another fix for any chain tensioner that uses any type of little retainer...(from way back early in the thread). Just use a short piece o' fuel line. Works great.

Or, a small ‘O’ ring.

That was already mentioned, hence the above in the absence of a drawer full of the right sized 'O' rings.

The original question was in post #1. Just didn't see anyone suggest the fuel line solution.

I have yet to be impressed by stock or muffler modded 262 = I always sell them.
Maybe this 1990 with K&S c+p and hda87 carb will change my mind, then again maybe not.
After rebuild we will be able to tell as I just did a 036 3750 also.

Very nice saw! Looks like someone changed the muffler on it, or maybe they changed the muffler later in the production run.

That's the muffler that's on my first one. I like that defector it has screws you can remove it and cut the baffle with a dremel.

Tried to change the muffler on my 372 today but no luck. Seems it was rusted on...I'm soaking the bolts overnight with PB Blaster.

My 1990 262XP muffler

Thanks for posting CJ. Havent seen that muffler.
But have noticed it seems ones outside US dont have XP on their tags. Aussies posted pics on my site and same tag like yours.
My tag

You can have a look at this IPL. It shows the muffler my saw came with, as well as a jungle type muffler that I assume came on saws sold outside of North America.

The muffler design was changed for the 1991 model year, but after seeing your saw, perhaps some late run 1990 saws also got the updated muffler.

I never noticed the difference in tha tags. I will check my other 262's and see if they all say "262" rather than 262xp

I had a look at my other saws' tags; the '91 '92 and '93 were all from Canada and have "262xp" on their tags. The 1998 saw was from England and also has "262xp" on the tag, so my 1990 is the odd one here. Good eye on that one! And the 1990 is a Canadian saw as well.

I think the 1990 model year is the only year to use Torx/slotted fasteners as well, but I could be mistaken on that.

@JeremiahJohnson can you post a link to your site?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

The Arboristsite police will delete it. Just Google chainsaw repair forum and you'll find it.
