I bought an older Husqvarna chainsaw yesterday...but there are no identifying stickers on it .
My kid was over today..he said it was a 266...he used one about 20 years ago in the timber/pulp cutting industry...but when he picked it up he figured it was too light to be a 266, so he figures Model 61.
The serial number tag says that it was made in Yugoslavia. I'll see if I can load up some pictures later .
The guy I got it from said it didn't run good ....so I only gave him $25 for it .It started good when I got home but ran erratically.To-day I cleaned it up, checked the spark plug(good), adjusted the idle screw and the jets...now it starts right away and sits there idling nicely....even the chain brake works now...it was all gummed up .
I'm thinking that I got a good deal...the almost new chain and bar are worth 100 dollars .
It will make a good companion(they look the same almost) for my Jonsereds 630 .
Thanks for any help...I wanna download a shop manual for it .
