Which of the 61-272 Huskys had a decomp? Had a 357 in the shop that needed a throttle linkage made. Was running a 266 style cyl with a 2100 carb.

Saw this on the other site. Deco's did not come on the saws from the factory, but 272 replacement cylinders are currently tapped for them.

How does everything fit here? Stroke? Cylinder bolt holes? 52mm piston skirt in the 357/359 case?

I haven't looked at this, but it doesn't sound like something that can be done. (If it can, I'll have one by the end o the day. haha!)

  Racesaw builders can accomplish about anything.


 I have heard and seen run a supposed to be 272 crank and top  installed in a late husky 50 or special case. Said saw was built as a cheater saw for 0-49cc class 3 cube.

Seen alot of 3 cube cheater saws when I raced in NB. The TW260 took care of them.
