The 66 uses the same open port P&C that was later used on the non-XP 268, as well as on the 268K construction saw. (The jug in the box looks like it's from a 372)
Don't see many of them, as it's a pretty rare model.

Regarding the carb, the one listed in all the IPLs was the HS224A.
Post by: Cut4fun on March 07, 2011, 05:29:29 pm
The IPLs go from 1987-06 to 1991-02, but that isn't exact info on the production time.
Regarding the carb, the one listed in all the IPLs was the HS224A.
I got a HS260 off a 272 laying somewhere on a shelf. I wonder :-\

If memory serves, I believe the 66 used the same jug as the later 268 open-port, btw - but not the same carb.

I found both style HS carbs here.

This part loses me. On the tag Tomos yugoslavia ???
Got a HS224 with no choke or choke lever. Using a squirt bottle with mix to fire off.
I have a Tilley 218 with choke set up, wonder if it is the same as used on the 224 carb?

The usual rules regarding the black vs. "silver" number tags don't apply to those saws.
The later ones are marked "Slovenia" instead of "Yugoslavia", for obvious reasons.....

I show them being sold 1988 - 19911987 - 1991 what the IPLs indicate - but they may have been made later than that by TOMOS.
Post by: SawTroll on March 10, 2015, 08:53:56 am
Husqvarna 66 have this newer plastic brake handle?
The first IPL to show the plastic brake handle is the 1989-02 one.
The one in the pictures looks like a TOMOS made one, based on how the number plate looks.
Post by: SawTroll on March 10, 2015, 09:20:07 am
The 66 is one of the Husky models that was made at the Tomos factory, as part of a political deal initiated by late Prime Minister Olof Palme (yes that infamous one) in the 1970s. Late 65s and late 266xps also were made there, and more...
The usual rules regarding the black vs. "silver" number tags don't apply to those saws.
The later ones are marked "Slovenia" instead of "Yugoslavia", for obvious reasons.....
Forgot to say; I do not know when production was moved to the TOMOS factory, or if there was any "overlap".
The same is the case with the 266xp.

No clue here. Never pulled the open port cylinder. Went straight to a collector overseas somewhere. Thinking it was Finland. Cant recall for sure now.

OK, mystery solved. The 66 was actually made with both of the cylinders in question! There is a service bulletin from Jan 1991 that announces the change to the 268K top end. It also lists all of the necessary intake parts. Entering either of the original cylinder numbers supersedes to the current 268K replacement item. The cylinder has the same 5036111 casting number, but is now produced in Brazil by Kolbenschmidt, and has the "KS" emblem cast on the other side.
Wow nice and Thanks for time and info.
Shared with Corey. He collects saws. He is trying to do every year of the 266 for one. He has bought 3 of them from me already. Has to be years he is missing. Thats another saw That had alot of changing I noticed.

Guess what I should do is spend some time pulling up the electronic versions of the old docs and printing off some of them and adding it to these old musty binders I have.
