Chainsaw Repair

My sentiments exactly! It is an experiment that both Farmboy and I have been noodling on for some time. We both like the old 262XP even though they are getting long in the tooth. We have both been looking for ways to breathe a little more life into the old 262XP and there are still a lot of people out there that have a 261 and would love to have a 262XP! This project is for a tutorial I will be publishing on Chainsaw Repair when complete.

It is about converting your 261 to a 262XP with some mods thrown in, MM, HDA-87 carburetor and the 365 Special piston. I am attempting to do the entire thing without custom machine work, and without a pile of factory tools. Us old guys are not the target audience for this however a person new to chainsaw repair/modification is.
