I don't know if this is a you suck or not, was given this saw in unknown condition missing the starter and ignition, decided to throw some chinese parts at it given the piston looked good and the compression is so high I can barely drop start it, it absolutely screams and cuts like a beast, the tag says "268 SE" but I seem to not be able to find any info on it a few threads even saying they didn't make a 268 SE but here I am, anyone schooled up on these?

Here is a link to some previous info:

From reading that I think the SE was the earlier designation of the XP. In any case you got a damn good vintage saw.

Thank you, that's what I assumed but I was a little confused after reading that thread.

Guy on Facebook local put five saws for sale for $60. Two poulan 250automatics, two pro mac 650s and a pioneer 3270. Had time today to get one 650 out and clean it up. It was very dirty. Runs like a dream and cleaned up well. Can't wait to get pioneer up and running. It started and shut off, pull rope come out next pull. Both mac's run great.

I love those 650's.
True Temper Kelly Perfect 3.5# double bit (my 3rd) & True Temper 2.5# Cruiser.
$11 for BOTH!
$6 for the Perfect, $5 for the Cruiser.
Now to find the time to restore!

They tried to put a full 35" handle on the 2.5# 
"cruiser".
Doesn't have the same size eye as the full sized axe heads.
Guess they could only get it so far down. Lol
I hope to save that handle for another 3.5# double bit I have & buy a 24" handle for the Cruiser.
I have a 5 eye Tru Temper 3# double bit that I prefer above all others (a pretty RARE find in my experience)..

Got these two units not running for $26 from a guy that said he was cleaning out shed and just wanted them gone.
I just wanted the McCulloch but figured I would sell Homelite.
I put fresh gas in the 10-10, primed carb and 5 pulls later she was idling.
Then I sold the Homelite for $25. So I didn't break even but I think I can live with how it all came out!

Just got home with something a little different to share with you guys.
I picked up this cool old Jari sickle mower. From what I could discern from my research prior to getting it is that it's probably a 60s Monarch model.
Everything works as it should, and the old Briggs powering it takes off with just one pull, though the carb could probably use a cleaning, along with the starter mechanism which needs some lubrication badly.
Besides that, while I was BSing with this guy about old tractors and power equipment, I happened to discover one of these little oddball Sears(roper?) saws, which I quickly bundled into the deal.
Don't know much about it, but it's such a neat unusual looking design that I just had to have it.
Compression feels good enough to run, but I'm not going to mess with it until tomorrow. Anyone know about these?
All together, I paid $185. Personally, I feel like I got a really good deal.
Some pics, though they aren't the best. I was rushing to get them before it got dark outside.

Just picked this up by mistake for $150 bucks plus a new carb kit to go with! I feel it was a decent deal for a complete saw that runs ok.. Don't know too much about them.

good mistake
Is the 272 a good saw? any experience with them?
I've got one set up similar to yours, I love it and would take one of them over a 372. Heck, if I had a one or two less projects I'd be trying to buy that off of you.
The heck with it, if you run it and decide it isn't your style please pm me before you put it on the open market.
Just pulled the muffler and the piston looks really good! Part of me buying this was for my 6 yr old to learn with his hands some and help get it cleaned up and get it tuned and ready to cut wood. But if i do decide to turn it loose ill PM you first before I list it.
do you know what the outer matching felling spike would be or look like?
How to tell the year? Week 35 of 1994? 
Yes, those are Pro-Safety big dogs, I have a pattern for the outer that I can send you as a pdf so you could cut out your own. Or, you could contact @Goinwheelin or @davidwyby and see if they will make one for you. They are nice because they stick down lower than the original ones so even with the wrap block they still keep the saw from tipping forward.
