Ever run a long bar on a 266? I bet you've experienced this.

- A little side project I've been working on for several years. I'm attempting to limit the flex in a Husqvarna 266XP.
when running a long bar on these saw the AV mounts tend to flex and the throttle can move without pulling the trigger.
thanks for watching. - Авто та транспорт

Hey Tinman, i like to smear a little bit of Automotive Goop goop in grooves of the bushings, when it dries hardens up those bushings very well!. 👍🤙🏾🤙🏻🤫
That looks like a legit fix for a case of the squishies. That's Hillbilly Ingenuity and right up my alley!
Love the buckin billy ray shirt
You could use rubber stoppers for test tubes/flasks. You could cut and drill them to the size you desire. They are chemical resistant as well. Or the rubber feet that are on the bottom of a small compressor. Just my 2 cents worth. Great stuff.
It would be nice to see you put Hogan's saw together in one video if it's doable. Might be slightly longer video but it would be interesting to see a complete build without cutting away. Maybe a two parter... just a thought. Enjoyed this one, thanks for the insight. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
It revs the motor when you pull it out of the wood too. I have a couple. New AVs are a must. Cheers
Good stuff. Especially the two points relative to work saws & "bore & stroke" :) And btw the 48mm 572 moves even more towards enhancing the "pump" :)
I used 266, 268, and 272 at different times in the late 80s and early 90s for a falling saw when in small timber. I ran a 32 inch bar. Can't remember a Rev problem but I ran the stiffest mounts I could get and changed them every season.
You might check faucet washers for the added bumper stops. Most of them are black, and they come in a variety of thicknesses and diameters.
There’s a soft and “hard” AV mount available from Husqvarna for these saws. I use the hard ones, they still flex just not a easily as the soft mounts. They did change the design of the AV mounts at some point, very early saws had smaller diameter mounts, later saws use bigger mounts. Not sure if OEM AV mounts are available anymore for the early saws.
Weight and reliability are the key to a god saw .
like the 61! I have one with black top! Cheers!
You are dead right, having reliable saw makes it easier to live with , cutting cookies don't tell much to guys earning a living cutting wood. The most reliable shape of any saw it's sometimes as it came out of factory at least the old ones ware designed to be like that. Love your content.
Thanks for sharing everything...your humility is appreciated Tinman!👍
Thanks for the kind words Paul.
Really good ideas, thanks for sharing
Nice find! Gotta love Southern engenuity!
Awesome vid brother !
Great vid man 👍🏻
Cool video! Thanks!
Torque is EVERYTHING as long as it can pull somewhat decent rpm. Coincidentally a lot of torquey saws are often more reliable than 15k rpm barn burners..
Give me a 11 or 12k reliable saw with a bigger sprocket any day.
I was going to mention Chem Lab flask stoppers which someone has already commented on. They DO come blank and with hole(s).
I think the previous suggestion of faucet washers is an excellent idea. Some washers come in large, medium, and small, for some sizes, but I do not know if that describes thickness.
Good Luck
Tinman! It is genius idea! I hope it will work!
Cool idea with the anti vibe spacers on the 266/272
Those flippy caps will work on some Dolkita’s not sure what all chassis but I’ve got some on my 7900
Thanks 👍
Idea…small (1/8”) slip joint on throttle link. Enough to compensate for handle movement but would only affect the trigger slightly.
2100 husqvarna has exactly the same setup with rubber bushes on top of the tank but from factory so they obviously new about the issue.
That pull handle on your 266 is great! I run my Dads old 266 and it's my favorite sales. She's smashes trough 30 inch fir. Back in 2006 I bought a 353 e tech brand new. I ran it for a few years and really liked it. I came down to the Koots to visit my Dad and offered to trade him for his 266 but he wouldn't haha.
Where in the Kootenays brother? We have a family property in the creston valley, love the best kept secret in BC.. Cheers
@@shaner67 We have rental cabins in Shutty bench just north of Kaslo. Cherry cove cabins. Waking distance down to the mighty Kootenay Lake.
That's awesome, haven't been north of Kaslo on the east shore. We have a summer place at Grey Creek in the Bay. The most refreshing lake on a hot day.. Clean and cold.
I have a 162SE that runs a 20" and it just had to get new av mounts,it was more flexible than young Jim Carrey before I did!
I love this series saw! I have a 266 that I ported after watching you and harv. I now have a 61 that I am going to build as well. Were you going to build dogs for this chassis and sell them? That set on the SE look real slick!
how did you attach the mounts? did it cause fuel leak or did you have to seal it? thanks for great vids! keep on keeping on
use black windshield urethane in the area of where you put the rubber stops . wedge the gap as large as possible while the urethane sets , so that in its actual running position it is compressed ....
it has to be urethane , not silicone , they are not the same thing .
btw urethane is fairly permanent , if it gets on clothing , it isn't coming out once it sets ..... to remove the gas tank , the urethane will need to be cut out ( like removing a windshield ) .
👍
I've been dealing with this issue on my 346xp. I did get it to act better after cutting a small notch out of the throttle rod bellows and giving the rod a little bend. I've been suspecting the AV mounts were getting tired though, that must be the real issue. I can't find where anyone has had that issue with the 346 though unless one of the springs was obviously compromised.
Back in my younger “racing days” we used to make po mans polyurethane motor mounts by filing the gaps in stick engine mounts with polyurethane caulking. Idk if it actually worked, mighta been a placebo.
How deep did you drive the screws in?
I'm waiting for my new 72 cylinder and pop up piston for my 266 that is an se with a coarse thread crank and I bought av mounts but them suckers wont fit because my saw is so old it has the magnesium handle/tank. Perhaps I have to buy a cheapo plastic handle
Tin man how much do you charge to port I got a saw I want to experiment with an see how much better it can get
Suggestion tinman, instead of mounting it to the fuel tank side, the engine bottomed end side can be drilled, and then using a pull through rubber mount like say on certain stihl models you can mount from underneath, it's neater....and black too. I'll find something appropriate. What's your gap in mm?
That was my plan but there's no room to.do that on these saws. The kill switch screw and intake elbow screw in each side prevent top mounting.
Tinman, are there alternatives to a airbox 288xp with a hd filter, seeing they are both NLA, and needing both, are there options? Where are the aftermarket shops for the spring av mounts? I can't find them here in Australia
Hey this is Dwight
I'd like to know where you got those bumpers
I work as a tool maker in a rubber co
I would like to see if we could come up with a part
Also I have a 266se
372 xp vs 272 xp…. Well , the 372 is a slightly better saw overall but I wouldn’t knock the ol 272 , seems like she’s got a bit more torque in the wood 🪵 apples to apples. 372xp is a more modern design , better av and inboard clutch however If horsetrading ya can get (2) of em for the price of 1 371,372 as folk want a small fortune for either … Imho the slight increase in displacement 72.2cc vs 70.6 gives a fuzz more torque … just my opinion your mileage may vary 😊
I don't hear to much about the 262xp but its a hot saw for its size! Just one mans opinion is it the same chassis ?
262xp is a great saw, itsbon a smaller chassis then the 266.
@@tinmanssaws I havent ported it yet !but its coming lol thanks
pound for pound , they are one of the best saws husky has ever made .... they respond really well to mild porting .....they can be made to pull some almost insane rpm , and pull hard ..... the downside is there isn't much in the aftermarket for them ..... some parts from the 55 will interchange ..... but the biggest thing is the crank , if you run these saws , find a couple good used cranks for spares .......
if i get some time this year during breakup , i want to graft a 272 cylinder to one , it just needs the correct thickness spacer for the bottom of the cylinder
@@charlesboston1 Thanks for the info its always been one of my fun saw's
Chemistry stoppers are punched out. There is a special set of tools.
Drilling does not work the best.
I have never tried melting holes through them. A hot nail may work great except for the smell.
Hi power saw people.
Can anyone hook me up with a place online to get a/v mounts for my grandfather's old 254 husky?
I cant get them locally and wolf creek doesn't have them.
Thanks
Tinman I’m running an 1987 266se muffler modded with base gasket delete. Will they pull a 24 in hardwood? I’m running a 20 and pulls it like nothing. Figured I’d ask before spending the money on a 24 thank you.
Yep they pull a 24 just fine
Hey any suggestions on a full wrap handle for a 288
Use a 395 and modify it is probably your best bet.
-44c holy moly 😂
I know this isn’t about the video but I just got a very clean Jonesred 2065. My question is can a cylinder for a365/372 xp work on the Jonesred? I have a 50mm 365 Special OEM. That I’d like to put on the Jonesred as I understand that it’s prettier much like a 365 Husqvarna. Any information on this saw will be appreciated from all.
Thank you.
Yep that saw is just a red 365. Any old style 372xp top end will bolt right on.
Are you sure the top end you have is a 50mm?
@@Oli4vn should be 48mm if it's a special.
@@Oli4vn
Yes according to the stamping on the OEM Cylinder
50ZN21. W2 Mahle stamped on the other side.
@@forrestebert5276 all right, if it’s not an x torq cylinder then it’s a 372 cylinder most likely, not from a 365 (special)
Where are you from? I want to buy your muscle?
