Made a short video idling for new owner. Saw is SOLD going into a collection. 

New owner going to get the OEM recoil and carb himself.  Saves me the hunt.

Lotta good saw pics, but the pic in the fridge looks even better. Some of those jars from TN even make their way up to the mountains up here. Supposed to have some vanilla bean coming from a guy who visits family in TN after I worked on his 2165 last week.

I hope the original, (and NLA), 268XP top end was actually bad when it was replaced with the AM kit. I've yet to see an AM kit that will run with an OEM without a lot of work, even if going up a notch displacement wise. Same applies to people replacing 48mm 365 top ends with AM kits. People get sucked in by all this "big bore" hype and toss out a perfectly good OEM kit for a chinese top end with .060 squish. Crazy. Then there's the obvious trade off in longevity.

No clue as I took it on trade twice over the years with same afm 272 top on it.  Came from VA first time traded in.

Guy I know bought that 1989 300th 268xp.  He said he worked on carb some. Now flipping it.

I ask him what the psi etc was, if a XP 268 cylinder and if piston was scuffed etc. But  he didnt go that deep into itto look.

Fighting the urge again to buy the darn thing to dig into it.

Passed again. Had a aftermarket topend on it. So for collector types that would want this saw it was devalued not being a OEM closed ported 50mm cylinder.
