Sold Mildly Ported Husqvarna 272XP

It's the HD version 272 filter.

Buckshot will get that pine pitch right off.

So's will straight gas...

This stuff is really tough. More like epoxy resin than regular pine pitch. I'll get it. Just gotta spend an afternoon scrubbing the bugger. Then I'm gonna want to paint it, and then.....

So far it's just been easier to put it off and keep running the saw with the beat up old cases....


That reminds me Jacob...........................do you have a nice spare fuel tank/rear handle for this series?

Yep. I put the HD filter setup on mine too.

I've had these cases in a tub for a while, and spray 'em down from time to time with my 'special sauce'. Kerosene with a bit of ATF mixed in. Softens that stuff right up.

I use a citrus based pitch remover used on table saw blades. That stuff is tuff to remove. Wonder if a straight lemon wedge will do. Gonna try it next time i get some pine time.

Thanks for the info on the air filter, my 272p doesn't have that style.

The parts are listed in the 268XP and 272XP IPL's. You need to change the intake elbow along with the filter. You remove that whole black plastic box/filter arrangement and the cross brace that supports it.

I got the part #'s now. Looks much better than the one I have.
