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.
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🌲❤🌲✊🪓
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 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
Tinman, just picked up an old 272xp, she runs strong, I have yet to get inside her and check condition, just getting into playing with small engines. This series is amazingly helpful to someone like me. Thankyou!
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
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
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.
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!!
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
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.
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 👍
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.
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 🤙.
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?
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.
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.
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 😅
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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!!🙂
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.
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
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.

Keep up the great content, you obviously know your audience well.
Knowledge is one of the most valuable things a person can have. I thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us for free.
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.
Gday mate I’m learning so much about saws. keep em coming mate cheers
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 love this channel best chainsaw channel on TH-cam
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 cant wait for the video on carbs and ignition. I think i became a husky fan from your videos.
i used to like power saws, now i'm obsessed. always looking for project saws. thanks for a fun winter hobby
That 630 sounds nasty!! Love it!
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
Tinman, just picked up an old 272xp, she runs strong, I have yet to get inside her and check condition, just getting into playing with small engines. This series is amazingly helpful to someone like me. Thankyou!
WOW! Thanks for continuing to read to us from the Tinman's husky 200 series encyclopedia👍 What a wealth of knowledge!!
Hey Tinman
This is the best Sat. AM entertainment ever. Now the motivation is to play with my saw this afternoon.
Keep pumping out those vids please!
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
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
Let me know if you need starter pulleys most are still available 🪵👍
Thx tinman you really got me to start tinkering with saws. Thx💯!
Moar angry sound is moar betta! 😉
I love your enthusiasm for these saws, I wish I had a little more time to do half of what you do.
I have a 1983 61 that is still mint, runs fantastic.... might have to try porting it 😁
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.
The 268/272 sounds good, too. Thanks for sharing, love this series of videos.

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???

Professor Tinman!!! Another great saw class on this class of saws 🤣👏👨🎓!
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
Thanks for sharing a head full of of knowledge with us buddy! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
✊
I actually enjoy the sound of the husqvarna more , still waiting to see the new bar run . Curiosity getting to me on that one . Thanks tinman
Great info! Makes me want to try my hand at this! Thanks!
Both of my 266's and 1 of my 61's have full wraps.
Good stuff I always learn something new from each video you put up
I NEED A FULL WRAP FOR A 200 SERIES! I buy tird saws to lol. Excellent video Tinman!
See if Pro Safety will build you a set.
@@brodyhunt6329 website?
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.
I’m in the works of building a 268xp with a 272xp ported
Your videos rock. I learn too much. I believe I'm turning into a saw junkie.
Yes love this content tinman
Thank you for the great content. I enjoy listening to your videos while working. I’ve finished my MS660, she has a 28” bar and is a beast.
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.

Thanks for this series, I have a 261, 630, 670 super, and a 2071 to rebuild this winter
Thank you for all you do. So helpful as I'm rebuilding my 266.
You're welcome buddy
Every time I get a saw with a rusty muffler I strip and clean it, found too many full of rust and dobber nests to take the chance
Great bit of info about the full wrap handles for the 2 series, just need to try and find one for my old 268 now..
Good sharing 👍
A lot of information here. The more I learn the more I realize how little I know.
As always great info Tinman, thanks for sharing!!!
love your work i am starting to do some saws too coz of you and will start with just doing mufflers and pipes
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

Lots of information thank you
Well tinman found myself a 268 and it runs. Needs a few things but overall in working condition. Thanks been looking for another big saw.
Jonsered talk is good! 👌
very good info tinman...thanks for the video
I made a full wrap for my 61 but switched it to my 268xp. I want to make a full wrap out of the smaller handle bars
Awesome video! I love the 200 series videos. Super informative
I have one saw with an aftermarket recoil from Brazil, three years now and its holding up well and I am not gentle with my tools.
Love your videos tin man keep up the good work
Awesome peace from Scotland stu and family
Great video very informative 👏
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.
My Yugoslavian 66 has an open port cylinder. What other 200 series saws are open port?
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.
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 😅
Loving the knowledge

Thanks Tinmam! ✊💚🌳🌲🪵
I want a 200 series something there just ain't none down here, seems so simple of a saw : (
They are very simple and fairly compact. Love these saws
Same, you rarely see them in Australia.
I have rebuilt a 61 with 268 top end and wondering if I should upgrade the carb (Tillotson 163)
Thanks love the channel!
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.
Paint is going to burn off.
Since they scavenge does that mean it could suck in sawdust with a built pipe and destroy the motor?
Oh man I got the itch. I need more saws.
Jonsereds used square pipes on the older ones, so they don’t flow as good as HVAs?
Hey tinman..enjoying the vids! Wondering what ever happened to the poulon 5200? Ever do any port work on it?
Just bought parts for my 395 to big bore it and port it. Can I email with questions on numbers when I get to that point?
Thats what im here for, feel free to email.
200 series Huskys just don't exist in my area. I grew up in the wrong part of the world.
How do you do a vacuum/pressure test on a 200 series saw. Thanks from Alaska
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 a 268/272 muffler on my 61/272 n it screams
I need used and new spare parts for 272 and I'm in Uganda.
Or can you get me a good used saw of the same model
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?
I've wondered about aluminum. Only issue is it dents and bends easy.may not be good for a falling saw??
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

Did you send me an invite to what app?
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.
Will a 272 full wrap fit on a 288?
Negative
Giveaway sounds angry. Why pull the recoil before shutting off?
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!!🙂

Thats jonsered…it is a monster :)
Tinman there is a whatsapp useing your name asking for cash for shipping on that saw give away you have going on
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.
A loud muffler is fun as long as you don’t have any neighbours :)
