Chainsaw Repair

Kevin I bought that never used  1993 272XP. I went over to the owners place the other day and asked him what he wanted for it, he said seeing I gave him such a good deal on removing his trees a year ago all he wanted for the saw was $300.
The saw came with a 16" Jonsered badged bar and original 73 LP chain. I ordered a 16" Husqvarna powermatch bar from my dealer, so I will post pics of the saw when the bar  comes in. Also put a new aluminum bumper on the saw to replace the heavy dual steel dogs the 272 came with.

I can see why Husqvarna still makes the 272XP in Brazil and detuned it to sell alongside the 372XP which they also make there.  Loggers want the compact 272 and good handling, better centered b/c outboard clutch[like the 346 has] with a full 72cc displacement.

I compared measurements to my 2008 372XP and the 272 is 1 1/2" shorter, almost a inch narrower and a 1/2" lower.
No rev limit ignition and no carb screw restrictor caps. I noticed right away a little more vibration in the handles reving it to WOT comparted to the 372, but I can live with that.
I just haven't cut a stick of wood with it yet, may never use it but I have a very strong urge to put it to work.
