yahoooooooooooooooo!!

Buckin, I can't wait to see you run this saw! 🤘🌳🪓

[@Ibirtch]

Great video! Really excited to see how this saw cuts! A quick tip for cleaning those side covers, try a sink or bucket full of hot water, dawn dish soap, and a scrub brush, works really well especially in all the nooks and crannies. You can wash most saw parts like that!

Thanks Tinman! Just got a 266 that needs a top end - gonna try and build er!

[@ronaldtowns7291]

Great job on that one. It will rip. Can’t wait to see it in the 🪵. Be kind be safe and have a day

[@MarkJohnson-lb5wf]

Buckin you have a great saw comming your way. I've been roaming around the net. Tinman and Ironhorse are right at the top of builders. Leaning towards Tinman lol my wife is from Windsor. Take care Tinman once again your content is spot on!

[@bluesfreak1700]

Nice build

[@paulhenry1011]

Hi Tinman. She's gonna be some toy.. good work buddy

[@sebastianleicht]

Hey tinman, It was very cool to see, how excited you were, when you fired up that saw and it ran! That "liftup" when accellerating was very impressive! Wow! Call me a Stihl guy and the only husqvarna i have are have 2 of the small 242XP. I got them in a bad shape and rebuilded them quite from scratch. I really like them for light work and cutting off branches. But now I'm thinking about getting one of those 266. Man, that's a great saw! Only problem is to find spareparts here in germany. You're inpiring! Carry on! Thank you!

[@whitesapphire5865]

Loving it ❤️. We'd be happy if our 266XP would just run properly in its current 'stock' format, but having seen this video, maybe we'll take a look at those seals and the impulse port.

[@pm270100]

very nice well done

[@randyforestier7256]

Very enjoyable video. She a brutal.

"What do you use for beard oil on your epic beard?" "Oh, I use Stihl Platinum Mix Oil". I get called Santa all the time so I know how natural it is to stroke the face hair when you're thinking. Amazing how much of engine work is how it sounds. Thanks for sharing.

Got both the circlips on....lol..just picking...great saw build...

Awesomeness!!!

[@mfisher702]

I can just SEE the look on Buckin's face when he holds this one and grins at the camera !!!

[@magicthewoodchopper4209]

100 % agree with you there 😆.

[@tonicasaesmeralda8612]

I believe since watching Billy since 2016. Those old Husky 266 was one of the first saws Billy run for tree service. Those are bread and butter saws bought second hand worked ran and made some money from it but not a whole lot. :) And Billy if you are watching I would love to have that Tinman 266 saw! :)

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

NICE JOB TINMAN

[@jasonbubley9427]

Awesome video. U should share all the specs of the saw. And parts you used in the description. U inspired me to keep my eyes peeled for a 266 now.

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Great work on the saws. It’s a monster saw

[@jonathanhall136]

Awesome.

[@kevinmaxam2414]

Yes sirrr!!!! Be safe and be careful

[@paulhenry1011]

Hey tinman a thought a had missed buckins 266. Keep up the good work buddy

[@jensenwilliam5434]

Thank you!!

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Tinman!!😀😀 When you put the sprocket on and it has holes on one side you need to make sure they are facing the outside. If you don't the sawdust will carry along and plug the bar oil slot with sawdust. The holes are made for clearing the sawdust from the sprocket toward the outside. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

[@richp1146]

Best chain saw channel on KZbin. I've been looking forward to seeing this saw run. Thanks for sharing all the little tips on the 2 series saws. It's a huge help, as I run these saws almost exclusively. They just work. 💪

[@wimkool3808]

Very nice! Be sure the seal in the oilpump is not touching the inner ring of the crank bearing. It will wear out the seal very fast, I've seen a few that way, originally installed.

[@ronledbetter4993]

I've had similar issues with the starter pully spreading and cracking. I'm just speculating. The rope was too small to begin with or stretched over time causing the rope to get skinny. Causing the rope to wedge down beside itself spreading the walls of the pully out until it cracks. Also with high compression or preignition the saw can kick back when you shut it off. I've seen Buckin pull the crank rope out when he shuts the saw off. I don't know why he does that but I thought, when I saw him do that, wow, that can help when it kicks back. I used to use a mic and measure the rope and replace it with similar size but now I measure the distance between the sides of the pully and install a rope that fits almost to tight. I couldn't find a new pully for a 61. I went to Farmertec and purchased a pully for 2.74. Its working fine. since I was ordering from them and having to pay 6.31 shipping I bought two Caber rings 7.10 and two bumper strips 78 cents. I know this video is 2 years old but I thought someone might be helped. I love Tinman. Any time I have a saw problem I go to his channel. By the way the 61 I spoke of was given to me because it was locked up years ago and would cost more to fix than a new saw. I untwisted the crank rope, put fuel in it and it cranked on the third pull.

[@cliffegle4071]

Hell yeah buddy!

[@matej4854]

When you said you have an idea how to stiffen up the av mounts I instantly got one idea too haha. I thought about putting one or more layers of heat shrink tubing over the mount. I just don't know how would they hold up.

[@louisesamchapman6428]

Back in the day my brother put finishing nails in rubber suspension bushings to stiffen them and reduce wheel hop on a little vega. I've used deck screws to tighten worn swaybar bushings on an old caravan...don't laugh, it took the clunk out of the front end ! Thanks for your quiet , country ways Tinman!...Oz never gave nothin to the tinman that he didn't already have...

[@chuck805]

Tinman!!! Thanks for these video's as they educate us unfortunate that just don't have a Husqvarna 266xp. Why do I have chainsaw envy? Any itty bitty 45cc builds? It's for when I get old, hopefully it will never gets any use, kinda like a backup plan, go lighter! Be safe eh Tinman?

[@scottjohnson9094]

Great video. Very Informational and appreciate all the time you put into explaining everything threw out the build. What kind of assembly lube do you use on the bottom end/wrist pin etc?

[@Z-Bart]

Cool trick with the pop can. Not a 'soda' can! Lol.

[@SonOfLiberty1984]

Now I gotta go shorten the rope in my 266! I'm all but sure I wound too much in 'er! I tried the holzforma recoil. I would up cleaning up and cobbling together the OEM. It is th me way to go.

[@JMB676]

Cert clips hold the wrist pin in N they always break on my favorite motor I work on the yd100 I have come up with my own mod for them and done it three times since I came up with it and it stopped the cert clip from breakin of and ruining my cylinder walls n piston. (Rip 5 different motors before fix) but my simple fix works great but now I’m tryin to find the sweet stop of reliable and monster the last one about four days ago was a bit to much monster and broke a ring and screwed the whole top end. New top end on the way n I’ll b a lil more mild with my durations 😀

[@rob066101]

I learned a lesson starting a saw with loose clutch. Kaboom she went parts in the weeds.

[@stevetheriault4164]

GREAT JOB ASSEMBLING THAT SAW I DO THE SAME IT DRIVES MY FRIEND NUTS ,,I TRIPLE CHECK EVERYTHING BE SAFE TINMAN BUCKIN WILL BE SMILING WHEN HE RUNS THIS ONE

[@stupidasso6183]

Just finished my 268se now yo do the 266se.

[@leonwalkus]

Thanks...missing parts for the oil pump on my 181 rebuild

[@vick5282]

Great video! I have the same saw and the oil flow screw/know broke off while i was trying to adjust it. Do they sell just that piece? Or do you have to change entire pump?

[@h200z]

FYI. I retro torqued and found the cylinder torque to be 65 inch lbs.. I've used this spec now on several builds and it's perfect..

[@JMB676]

Hey also most saws use pumper carbs right? They don’t have jets correct? Cause I’m thinkin if it works off a pump n recirculates then I should be able to run them and get all the fuel or way less without all the jetting and just a high low screw right?

[@logman6656]

❤💪😊

[@daftnord4957]

can you tell me what 266 2 piece ignition kit you recommend? i think you mentioned it in a different video but i can't find it. Thanks

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Only the finest bands for the sturdiest saws haha jm I know that's not a turn saw but I fcb ur not one of us be like that snap on t handles worth more than the saws hahaha, but noooo, not at all, so much pleasure in the older saws

[@adamlagace2485]

Do you buy your crank seals and bearings from the dealer too ??

[@rickforsty9410]

Tinman I noticed you pull the starter rope back to the shut off switch is this to prevent a kick back on the recoil assembly? Rick ohio

[@kevinparent8843]

Heya tinman. Got a problem of oil pump and dust cover on my 266.. where i should buy these ? Is it a good idea to buy from holzforma or not ? Thanks

[@henrikpanczak6312]

Tinman, I got a "serious" problem with my 266XP pulley. When I run the saw (which was ported after your lovely instructions!), the starter rope comes out of the pulley and the flywheel is eating the rope inside until it breaks. I tried the original 266 starter and a 61 starter. None of them work. Do you have an idea?! Stay safe, buddy!

[@frankz1125]

Have you ever come across the proper paint for the huskies?

[@Billbobaker]

What is the impulse line and how did you get it?

That gets on the pipe like yesterday

[@tinmanssaws]

Lol thats funny

[@johnmcknight4776]

I think I punched a hole inside my fuel tank while taking off my full wrap bar is that common or did I really screw up

[@HTSPgh]

Hey Tinman, I have some old Husky saws that are my dad’s. They are very sentimental to me. Would you have any interest in rebuilding any of them?

[@rob066101]

Lots of parts for 266 out there. But top covers are becoming rare.

[@christianaspo7533]

How high does it rev up?

[@LF12468]

Rookie question here. Why do I some guys pulling the chord out a bit before shutting off the saws? Also, I just picked up a used Stihl 028wb and it runs but it's leaking fuel from somewhere. I see fuel running down handle area to where you place your foot to start. Any Ideas?

[@maxhiltin1133]

If you still don’t know it’s to stop the motor from pulling the cord in if the motor happened to turn slightly backwards when shut off. (Saves the rewind cord) especially bigger high compression saws

[@LF12468]

@@maxhiltin1133 Thank you kindly. That makes perfect sense.

[@maxhiltin1133]

@@LF12468 I may add it’s Mostly for Old McCulloch saws, or any ChainSaw with “starter Pawls” mounted on the flywheel I believe the 266 has them on the flywheel.

Hey tinman I have a 576xp that I would love for you to port

[@tonymayhew191]

I'm surprised to hear you say that the 61 pullstarter won't work on a 266xp! Because I just had the pullstarter take a shit on my 266XP, I replaced it with the pullstarter off my 61 and it works fine?

[@tinmanssaws]

There's early and late pullstarters. The center portion is lomg or short so some fit some won't.

[@gazcribbs8151]

Tin man how much to port a sthil 381 ???

[@chrisallen3741]

I have a question about the piston,,,,when i was a mechanic before we assembled the engine we always emerged the pistons in oil….why dont you do that….i was told by an ole timer that the ole absorbs into the metal

[@tinmanssaws]

I oil the piston and cylinder with my finger. Too much oil on these engines and it will drip down and get all over the sealant on the cylinder base and cause a leak.
