Havent checked psi as it has only been though a few cut sessions so far.   But feels good.  I am fighting the urge to sell it. I priced it then I think about it and how good it runs stock. This one makes the 562 I demoed look like a turd.

I ordered the carb rubber sleeve for the H L I to ease tuning.  Also thinking outer dawg too.

Then I flip and think of my dad and think I could put a dished 261 piston and the decomp turd mahl cylinder.  That should make it easy for him to start. 

Just torn on this saw as I have so many 60cc-65cc saws.

@CJ Brown

Here is the last test I did with them before the 262  https://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/poulan/test-in-11'-dry-ash-3450-380-3750-036/

Never had a good 262 or the lesser 262 to ever run back to back with any 036 I have at same time.

If you order the outer dog you will need to elongate the mounting holes to get the inner and outer dogs to be in alignment. Either that or cut the dogs off the mounting flange and re-weld it back on in the proper position.

I think the 1990 262XP is the most desirable of the 262 models. It is the strongest runner, and has some different features (both cosmetic and performance) that the later models lack. I like the torx fasteners for instance, and the 87 carb and KS non-decomp cylinder set the standard that in the subsequent years weren't met. And the red "XP" on the recoil housing just looks race-ready haha. Not to mention, it's not every day that a 262XP in good condition comes up for sale, but just try to find a 1990 model - they are rare.

My 55 Rancher is the same dog way, outer dog is forward of the inner dog ~1/8" or so.  I just left it alone on mine didn't really notice any problem it presents, unless OCD finally kicks in I guess.

   Cut4fun.  Where are you ordering your 262 parts from?  I need the plastic collar ring that goes around the intake block.  I got photos to post, but there a bit to large and won't download.  Is there an easy way to do this?  Thanks
