Husqvarna 268xp final assembly and first run!!

[@JoeDavis82]

I still can’t believe you are giving away this saw. Very generous of you Tinman. Nice to see people spread kindness.

[@colepreston6149]

My dad still runs his 61 I believe he bought it new in 1983 still runs strong never been opened up

[@madmodifier]

Nice work Tinman! Thanks to everyone who donated to the cause!

[@unclecai271]

Searching for 2 series husky’s is how I found your Chanel when you only had 900 subs. Glad to see your still building them and pushing 19k now.

[@heathencustoms2015]

I think the giveaway saws are an awesome program buddy! Some lucky fella is going to have the honor of running a "Tin Snipped" saw by the Tinman himself! Good stuff friend!

[@heathencustoms2015]

@@iffykidmn8170 yea I emailed tinman with the idea and he liked it he said hes good at porting saws not marketing 🤣🤣 I'm trying to get the "Tin Snipped" saw name to stick.

[@JoeRainis156]

I took apart an old Echo leaf blower today and when I took off the cylinder off it all made sense how it worked. Intake, exhaust , transfers etc. Thank You Tinman for your hours of explaining how 2 strokes work.

[@Piledriver2235]

Its great watching along with these builds, learn so much just hearing you talk through the builds. Whoever gets this generous giveaway is extremely lucky!

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

More saw tips for things to watch and check throughout the life if a saw. Love it Tinman. Thank you sir. What a beautiful saw. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓

[@jamiedalluge9472]

A buddy a mine gave me a husky 162se Sat that had been sitting a long long time. New fuel line and carb kit and was cutting wood the next day. Super impressed with the old girl

[@tdawg8605]

Ok so you inspired me. I just took that carb off again on my 268 and I messed up putting it together tired. I put the wrong gasket between the carb and the manifold. So right gasket later my baby is back purring. Excited to put it in the wood now. Seals, coil, spark plug, carb rebuild, check muffler, check ring and cylinder (tons of compression). Also had a hole in the top cover that was sucking in sawdust at the carb (JB weld has now fix that). Tuned with tack 2700 at idle and 12400 top end. Restarts half pull. Thanks for the context and inspiration Tinman I'll let you know how it cuts this weekend. Mahalo🤙

[@simpleman4224]

That baby is thumping! That is one good looking saw! You know I love me a 200 series husky! Sounds great! Restarts easily! Great job buddy! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ronbaxter9169]

Ron here from New Zealand. Learning heaps from you, i have an oleomac 103cc I'm restoring. lots of fun. Doing the big rings. Please keep doing the videos. I live in the sticks, too, so not any people to learn from. All the best, Ron.

[@shaner67]

The high speed assembly is fantastic, keep doing that when the build permits.

[@telecasterfool1773]

My vote is to send the giveaway saw back to Adam - he was generous enough to donate it so we could watch the videos and learn things. He deserves it. Anyone who agrees, reply to this comment. please.

[@aaronpowell4885]

Can't be too safe avoiding air leaks. That saw really is a beauty! I forgot just how clean it was when you got it!

[@felixchetlanddevries2998]

Man, the 268 is a good saw to look at. Just nice and industrial.

[@neffofrog]

You are so impressive! I'm so happy I found your channel. Wished I found it long ago. Thank you.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

This has been a beautiful build series! Your patient explanation of every step including the why and why nots, is what makes your teaching so rich! The recipient of this saw is going to be so very lucky! 👍💪

Love your stuff dude. Saving up for a Hyway 272 P+C for my 266. Keep the vids coming, learning a lot. Peace from the UK.

[@waynethedukelamont2078]

Sounds good, But you are correct, it sounds like it needs either a more modified muffler or a homemade pipe for it. cant wait to see that in the wood!!

[@whatnowstinky]

a beautiful saw. i bet there isn't a single viewer that isn't hoping they win it, visualizing it in thier hands, grinning, mid cut with the chips pouring out. 😁

[@johnnyguzman2131]

Wow 🤩!! love this saw !! Great work love to see someone enjoy what they do!!

[@4seasonpursuits724]

What a classic saw and “wood” be darn trusty piece for line clearing and Buckin blocks for the winter camp!

[@danthorpe-ru7pt]

Really love your channel yourself buckin and iron horse inspired me to buy back my 268xp and give porting a go I will upload a video once I get on with the strip down as I have got it running so I can use it for a job as I want to get all the port work done before stripping it so I can get it in wood quicker in its new guise peace and love

[@lyman1969]

That is a GREAT looking saw. Another awesome build by THE Tinman! Thanks for all the informational and enjoyable content.

[@rickhamm3962]

Great looking saw. Bet it runs 🏃‍♀️ even better.

[@yrdGBA]

Never owned a Husky but everyone around me has them. I have an old Echo CS-452V and a MS170 Stihl. Love the channel and your work.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

The 266's (and 262XP's) are probably my favorite Husqvarana saws. Although I've not owned either I love my Husky 261.

[@Holli622]

As a owner of a bunch of classical XPG saws i love the response in my 262XPG, that is an absolute beast, as fast response as my 242XPG but so much more power! My favorite Husky is the 371XPG, that is usually my go to, mostly because its a beast. 😄

[@jeffreyrubish347]

@@Holli622 Both the 200 and 300 series 60cc to 70÷cc Husky include some legendary machines.

Really great enjoyable educational video. Anyone would be happy to have this in their collection. Like your warm-up procedure.

Great job Tinman! I love your commentary… and thanks for passing along your knowledge!

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Haven't ever ran a husky. Used a stihl ms362 years ago clearing right of ways. Great saw! Really like my stock cs590. Good for what i need. This would be great for comparison and that in between size of the CC options I have.

“Alright alright alright”. Can’t wait to see this saw run.

I been following along on this build brother I'm a huge husky fan. You do great work bud I can't wait to see it in some wood! Whom ever gets this gem is only very deserving person. Good job buddy!

Man that saw is so beautiful

That looks like it's gonna be a great saw. Those Titanikel cylinders look really nice, i wish we could get them for Homelites, Macs and Poulans. I never thought to pre assemble the intake on the jug, that just makes too much sense. Now, if i can only remember that the next time i'm bolting one together. Keep up the good work, I always look forward to your videos.
