200 series husqvarna parts interchangeability

[@ripcord8823]

Great video, I have several of these saws and you’ve made things a lot more clearer for me to understand. I appreciate it.Thank you.👍🏻

[@carlreape1190]

Your making me feel old. The first saw that I purchased for my self, was a white top 61. Best saw I could find for the little means that were at hand. Ran it hard for 2 years. Sold it to my brother in-law. He ran it for fire wood until a few years ago when it stopped. Good One!

[@307j.o.a.t9]

Great info!! Thanks Bill Block for the idea/question. Very informative!! Thanks!!

[@chuck805]

Wooow Tinman this is good stuff! Must have taken you quite a while to learn all this stuff. Thanks for sharing. Be safe.....

[@johnsonlong1272]

Wow man that's awesome information I'm kind of what I was looking for. I have ran husky saws over the years but never really got into building saws until recently I have a 55 a 61 a 235 and a 365 special all non-runners that I am currently working on getting going in my free time. I'm glad to have stumbled across your video while watching buckin's and iron horse. There's a lot of information in this video thanks again man!

[@nickywalsh8492]

To be fair that was a lot of info without having notes so well done to you 😊

[@tennesseedave6771]

found channel from ironhorse shoutout. Just subscribed, really good content!

[@tinmanssaws]

Welcome ! Thanks for taking the time to check out the channel!

[@flunder203]

Wowee. I have just been messing around with a stock 630 and a 162se whose getting a 266 jug. Good timing on this tinman! 200 series is a lot of fun!

[@tinmanssaws]

They are my favorite saws to build.. When the intakes dont leak that is!!

[@MegaDirtyberty]

Some good info there TM, I have just made up some crank adapters and timing wheel and going to use the info I gained on your port timing video to see if I got the porting right on a few of my saws that I ported.

[@tinmanssaws]

I ported several at the beginning with no timing wheel lol. They ran really well but not as well as a saw I use a wheel on.. What have you ported??

[@MegaDirtyberty]

@@tinmanssaws I have ported two Stihl ms260's and a Husqvarna 372 so far, one of the 260's was a recent build and I want to check the numbers.

[@tinmanssaws]

@@MegaDirtyberty cool id be interested to hear what the numbers are when you time them.

[@MegaDirtyberty]

​@@tinmanssaws Stihl 026 squish was .30 reduced down to .26. Numbers ( in deg and exhaust opening, transfers opening, inlet opening) before 266, 238, 68. After 270, 245, 73. Tdc at 0deg on wheel and unported. Do these numbers sound right?.

[@justinweber1838]

Just stumbled upon this video of yours Tinman. Great video, how about doing the same for the 3 series. Or how about the 288 and 390, 394, 395? Love the channel.

[@daveodenbach6455]

Well explained. Also 268, 272 and new style 61 with orange top cylinders have a more vertical spark plug hole causing clearance issues with the older top covers. Ironically they will fit under a 625 Jonny as the open port cylinder was higher than the 630.

[@tinmanssaws]

Thats one thing i forgot to mention for sure..

[@daveodenbach6455]

As you said. Nobody knows it it all. But your 13 minutes had a bunch of good info. Some new to me. You have a good channel to share information. Thnx much.

love it good job well done

[@pm270100]

have i been here that long lol

[@billybowen3023]

Love it great info! Thank you. It would take ages to work out what fits what, priceless info👍. I don't no if you have ever met a husqvarna 141? Real small shit saw.......but i own one and its a little monster, i like her very much not messed with just stock.

[@pm270100]

that be close to an old 36 // 136 id say

[@rob066101]

you can go on forever about the 200 series such as the 254 257 261 262. All these series use the same crankcase . The 254 uses a different crank than the 257 261 262 . The 257 261 262 have a longer rod. but use the same crank, This is just an example Thanks for sharing

[@aaronbadgett4439]

i love the 266,268,272 series i have a few videos up on here feel free to check them out and let me know what ya think. you do a great job on your porting by the way

Good stuff buddy! Thanks for sharing!👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tinmanssaws]

Im trying, lots of great info in the comments, stuff i didnt even know.

[@boatbeard7767]

I just bought a 61 plus one in a box in pieces for parts, it goes alright and will get me out of trouble while I repair my 039 main saw. It's all orange with a wire chain brake handle. Bit of clutch drag that I find irritating though. Got sold an upgraded clutch which I haven't got yet, but thinking it isn't going to fit the 61 if its a different thread from the last saws in the series perhaps... Managed to get a couple of replacement clutch springs that might get the drag issue fixed up. Anything major to check with the 61? Seems like a strong saw with a 20" bar and munched through the normal tough Oz hardwood I cut for firewood pretty well indeed. Probably about the same as my 039 so liking the saw quite a lot for the price so far. Cheers, nice to have found your channel via The Ironhorse.

[@tinmanssaws]

Hey welcome to the channel!! When i get an old saw like that I usually replace the carb kit, both the orings and crank seals on both sides. A new fuel line rounds out the repairs. If she runs good and tunes easy shes probably ok.

[@boatbeard7767]

@@tinmanssaws I'm working on the idea of not messing with a saw that starts, idles, transitions and runs under load perfectly at the moment. I've worked out which Tillitson carby I have and will order in a kit to have on hand - will see if I can find a gasket set too because yeah once you remove things... I didn't think of replacing the seals as this unit allegedly was put together a couple of years back - and not leaks I think given the rock steady running. The only big issue is stalling or chain run on due to the clutch not releasing. Hoping a new spring fixes that. I used it really hard cutting some filthy hard wood about 34" thick, so cutting from each side and the saw loved it, as usual the sharpness of the chain has a lot to do with that but she didn't sag for a moment. I reckon I got a good buy, fair saw for a fair price which is the ideal transaction. She will get a proper workout this Saturday as going wood cutting - and nothing I cut is a soft wood... I started with Huskies - still have my Special 45 but not used much since I got the Farmboss 039. Now in the space of 12 months I've got three new huskies - brand new 135e and large pole saw, and this 61... I like them very much.

[@boatbeard7767]

@@tinmanssaws Update - found some things not to like unfortunately... Airfilter is off a 268/272 - had one spring left, and the air filter full of holes and deformed - all new parts coming but managed a temporary fix for now. Bar was completely knackered - quick trip to the local huskie agent and a new bar and two chains later and that's sorted. Price was very good too so original parts a great option. I have never seen a more worn out drive sprocket in my life so that was interesting, good job I got a couple of new ones with the clutch - replaced clutch with the three spring which works ok but slips if I bog the chain down - so better replace the drum... either that or have to go back to the long spring thing. Got a feeling there is a lot of 268/272 in this 61. Given the amount of sawdust that appears to have gone through the engine compression is ok, but not high. There is a lot of corrosion in the case sections which is an issue potentially into the future and the old sections in the bits box are corroded right through in many places like the oil tank, main cases - so need to watch that I fear. All that said - just chewed through two tonne of hard Oz firewood and it absolutely loved it. Got some rings, carby kit and seals coming once I work out which actual engine is in there - thinking your advice is sound given the condition of the rest of the saw. Still happy though - it cuts wood and doesn't sag even in some oversized muppetry...

[@ChippyOutdoors]

In a future video could you explain all of the adjustments and what they do for the chain brake? Mine locks up on its own think its from vibration. And I noticed 61 vs 162se the top covers 1 is solid on the 61 and sticks out further over the muffler then the 162 I have has a shorter in length and it's vented/ribbeed over the muffler

[@nickywalsh8492]

The only thing you didn't mention is husky takes pulse through the block , Jonny has impulse line from cylinder so carbs are not direct swap...fine thread anti vibs are hard to find ...I considered tapping/drilling metal tank to take the coarse threads and just be done with it....

[@tinmanssaws]

You are correct, 625 and 670 johnny have intake boots and a pulse line. 630s work though..

[@vintagesawyer6246]

Coarse thread crank also has different taper for flywheel (2 piece ignition)

[@nickywalsh8492]

Hello tinman,I found all this out the same way u probably did...I got a Chinese clutch cover the brake action was brutal, however I noticed the main issue is the spring inside the flag, it's shit not even a good copy, by swaping a 254 spring it works good believe that..so a OEM 266 spring would be ideal also..I tried to bring back a parts stripped 266se using Chinese parts turned into a flop...what I wanted in the beginning was doner 61 which were common place once....

[@tinmanssaws]

Those springs are crap, I cant remember what i used 55 rancher spring and brake assembly i think????

[@mikefriesdrums]

I have a 162 SE and I’m interested in putting the 52 mm big bore top end kit on it and I’ll do whatever it takes to fit a 272XP top cover on the 162 SE chassis, is it just the bolt holes for the top cover need to be layed out and drilled and tapped in the chassis? Thanks

Hey tinman I need a top cover for my dads 266 I'm rebuilding. Do you have anthing youd wanna sell?? Even Jonsered cover?

Hey also 162se has a magnesium gas tank...i have seen one coated with white material on the inside aka "white death"...old gas sitting in the tank too long. You have any tips on removing it?

I've had a few saws like that over the years. Ive cleaned a couple with a hand full of nuts and bolts and then shake the tank really good. Thats bout as good of a way as I've figured out.
