I fail to understand the why.

Why ask why? Lets see if it runs.. I want photographic proof and would love to see a video. Now where is my popcorn?

I can made a 262XP run well enough without butchering it up.

Why...? Because I can and because I had the parts anyway... + it's fun to be the first to do it... I will post pictures and video as the build goes on...

If you're just making a toy, I understand.

I believe that is what he is doing....

How are you going to solve the difference in stroke between the crank and the cylinder?
How about the 357 that had a 272 top end on it?

That is doable, as far as I know - but it is not a simple job. At least you start with a crank and a top end that has the same stroke.....

The 044 has a 36mm stroke, while the 262xp has a 34mm stroke. When you put an 044 top end on a 262 crank, it is the crank that dictate the resulting stroke. This means the top end will no longer be 70.7 cc, but around 67cc.
The porting will of course be totally off.....
Interesting
But why go thru the work of adapting these parts?
There was a thread earlier where a member put a larger cc P/C from a Stihl on a older Craftsman saw to build a sleeper saw.
But the P/C you are adapting is right around the same size,so there will be little change in overall power.Plus it will be an obvious frankinsaw.
Not sure if the pic's are of the saw you will be trying to get running,but if they are a little more cleaning before you removed the P/C will give you a better chance of getting the saw to run and keep running without failure.
Anyhow that's my .05 cents.Continue on and have fun.

I understand the Stihlsky.

I believe it would be much easier to use a top end that share the 34mm stroke with the crank - but I like the idea of using a HD-12 carb of the 372xp on a 262xp. If it is possible to fit it, it would mean a gain with the original 262xp top end, and whatever you could fit.
