Keep these coming. Have a line on a burnt out 268 that I may have enough parts laying around to revive see how that works out. You also inspired me to dig through the boxes and I have about 80% to Frankenstein up a 154 back to life.
Very educational Tinman. Always taking it in. Saw knowledge is priceless thank you for sharing with us. Especially great for folks like us that have difficulty finding parts sometimes for certain saws. Love it brother🌲❤🌲✊🪓
I seriously love learning about a whole line of saws I wouldn't have had much interest in otherwise, I really hope you make this an ongoing series where I can binge all of this awesome information and get hyped about new lines of saws over and over again
Hey Tinman, your knowledge of the 200 series really blows me away.. I came to your channel via Buckin Billy Ray Smith. I’ve just got a 266xp and would love you to do a feature on ignition coil and pick up options. Great work man
For years I’ve cut small wood since what had is a Poulan wood master but once I started watching Bucking Billy and you I was amazed how those power saws performed. Now I’m hooked and my Poulan looks like a model T compared to a Ferrari. Thanks
Im not gonna lie, when you started this series I thought "who cares, this is such boring content." Now here we are 3 parts in and I find my self rewinding to make sure I understand, and taking mental notes as I search FB Marketplace for 200 series saws. You impress me yet again Tinman. Keep up the great content, you obviously know your audience well.
So sorry to hear about your hackers! People are just mean! Keep doing what your doing you are just such an informational video for us newbies trying to port our own saws to save a buck! Thank you Tinman😊
Got a little over zealous on a MS 391 muffler. Couldn’t tune the carburetor. Ended up blanking off the original exhaust hole. All better now. Thank you Tinman for saying sometimes you can go too much. Really appreciate you and other comments.
24:42 I have that exact muffler on my completely stock 1984 Husqvarna 181 .according to my parts guide, they came in two styles, one with a short exhaust pipe and mine with the screw on deflector and a spark screen. Enjoy your videos, very informative, keep up the excellent work 👍
Wow tinmann you make the coolest videos ever. I got My johnesered 2050 to pull like a train and only thanks to your videos. I got a jonh 2145 and a husky 394xp i want too play with
I’m totally digging this series on what swaps around with what…I’m a total scavenger type guy even in my old age because I grew up a poor West Virginia mountain boy… I would much rather make a part or find a cheap option…. Some of these screws that are $6 bucks apiece to attach a handle or to attach the handle to the anti-vibe support system just makes me crazy… $5 bucks shipping on a $6 dollar screw??? Cost me $11 -$12 bucks and a week for the shipping to get my handle on my build project? LMFFAO!! I’m a cheap bastard at that!! Sometimes ya just don’t have much choice though! Every single saw got some good parts and those screws alone are worth big money and are real time savers when you can pull a couple screws off a dead carcass and finish a project it’s like hitting the lottery for me!!!! God Bless and keep on Truckin!!!! Chainsaw Hot Rodders Rule!!! LMFFAO!!
Not cheap, but the best. Currently I'm waiting on the first set they have made in many years, so I would think they would make you a set, and hopefully continue production from there. Also highly recommend a pair of their 268/272 dogs.
Excellent video as always. I have a Tomos factory "Slavic 66" with thick smooth black rubber and wider and thicker half wrap handle than I have seen on any of the Swedish factory saws. I think Pro Safety will be making 200 series full wrap bars again. I'm waiting on the first set they have made in many years right now!
I love the 2 sires. Years ago I built a old white top 61 to a 272 but I ended out selling it. I do regret doing that. I actually still have the manual to the old 61.
Great stuff, thanks for doing this series, keep them coming please. Trying to collect as much of this stuff as I can before it's all gone and this is extremely usefull. Like the friendly style of the videos as well from a good guy with the right intentions.
That 68 is sweet. Thanks for the information I love learning, I've been just a saw runner since joining yours and Buckin Billy Rays channels I have started tuning and sharpening and doing more to them thanks again
Taking it in like a sponge ,,thanks tinman for all the great tips and info be safe buddy take care,,,how's the wood weisel doing in the snow? Bet she's pretty good
Thanks and thanks tinman, a lot great helpful information and tech Tips, I'm so happy you gave all this information to each of us, it's too bad I can't find saw like that. Maybe they all know they're great powersaws to have. I can't wait to see when the give away saw brakes in, and are you going to do more work on the muffler? Yes does sound like it could use your touch, make run way better, or you going to build one for it? Like bucking style would be nice. But I'll keep looking for 266 or 272 for parts. Alway brother be safe to you and your family and friends. Keep all the great work and info to us, I love what you do buddy
Good stuff Tinman...lov'en the history and information on these saws. Almost have the Echo kioritz CS-701VL going. She runs now she oils (the oil line was disintegrate... like liquefied... gone two small pieces one on the filter and one on the auto oiler but soft like gum) she purrs for a good ten minutes then leans out, loads up and stalls out. Sucking air, I'm leaning towards seals. Your channel inspires me to be at the bench tinkering on saws. Keep up the great content....Mahalo Tinman 🤙.
An engine is basically an air pump, so i suppose it's flow verses noise. I don't think much of my neighbours anyway. By the way i think I have been contacted by 2 Nigerian princes to tell me I have won your competition. Nice work big fella.
That's funny you're the first person I've heard day that....it's what my dad always says. "The more efficiently you can make air move through the engine with little obstruction or turbulence the nore has it will make. Every time." Hahaha and the 4000cuin v16 diesels he works on move a bit of air lol
You can tell when someone really loves something, they just know all these little details. I’m trying to figure out how to rake a tidy late model 268 that’s sitting on an ex bosses shed 😅
another great vid Tinman. it might be interesting to know the weights of all the different parts so you could build for the minimum weight on this specific chassis.
the 162SE muffler might be saveable with a molasses rust removal bath or similar. something that eats the rust but leaves the good metal. sealing the inside of the de-rusted muffler, might take a bit of thought though. pouring in thinned paint and rolling the muffler around is the first method that comes to mind but there is probably a better way.
Whenever I think I’ve cut enough fish gills on a muffler I stop and ask myself “what would Tinman do now?”… then invariably cut an extra gill. Seems to work so far, especially for drowning out the complaints of the neighbours.
Them late year flys are the stupidest things around😏 it’s when I take my revenge out on em for all the havoc their earlier siblings wreaked😁a vacuum is the easiest way to clear a room in a hurry😉I hope my tip helps you like yours do for me... sorry bout yer jets✈️ last night😅 go OILERS⛽️ bout time!!🙂
I need that jonsereds with the extra loud exhaust to wake my neighbors up. I try to be a nice guy but they like to be the opposite. They already get mad when i cut wood, at normal times of the day. Silly folks
considering hogging out the muffler on my 555 autotune, starting slowly. removal of the spark arresting screen should help, too. Lots of snow so no fire issues…think it would help?
Muffler off my jonsered 630 has an internal spark arrester with 9-10 decent sized holes through with the triple fish gill port. Should I just clean all that out to make it breathe better? Picked up a p41 tonight too pretty pumped about that, rare find in these parts of toba!
Recently did my muff mod on the Jonny 590. I cut the holes into 2 large diamond shapes on the baffle. Also opened the exit hole . Sweet and torqy. Tinman would throw the baffle away.
Husky 61, 268 (non-XP model, same jug as your 66) and JRED 625. I also have a Slavic 66 and love it. My main around the house firewood saw at the moment.
How about the claw pipe, and harvey pipe?, I been meaning and wanting to build one out of aluminum 1 aluminum is so much easier to work with and form and weld and its light, and 2 heat dissipation? Be on bb ported 372, suggestions?
Modify a spark plug, remove the core and then glue in a hose barb. Then close off the intake after the intake block and exhaust with a piece of bicycle tire and there you go
I got it too...lol apparently we are all on the short list...spam hackers that's all. Whoever is lucky enough to aquire that wonderful machine will know when it shows up on a actual video by the man himself.... the Tinman...lol.
I have a Husqvarna 366 SE and I need a new piston and cylinder I bought one and it runs good but it’s a to tall cylinder the top cover will not go all the way down I got a big bore 52mm piston and cylinder that said it was for a 266se but it dose not work so that I can put the top cover on it so I order one from eBay that said it has a piston cylinder that would work I got it today and it’s just has big where the top will not screw down could you give me the part number where I could buy on that will work and screw down the top cover thank you very much
Go back and watch the first video of the 200 series, the spark plug angle of the 268/272 is why the 52mm big bore wont let a 61 practica, or 266 SE/XP cover sit down all the way. You will need a 268/272 cover and have to add a hole for all 3 screws to work. You can find aftermarket ones on fleebay for $10
You need a 272 cover if it's a 266 but the holes won't line up. I'm going to drill and tap new holes for it. Another option is to make a hole or try to form a bump with heat to the right spot for the original cover
Привет друг, у меня тоже есть husqvarna 61, и у неё проблемы с цилиндром, смог бы ты помочь, может у тебя есть цилиндр на неё. Я из России, точнее из Сибири. Заранее спасибо.
