thanks again for another great video !!! i do tons of 2 stroke engine repair , one thing ive noticed on any 2 stroke engine that has been sitting up for a long period of time is that even after a complete overhaul of the fuel system it still takes time to get it to run right , most techs give up on it ,, its really simple it takes awhile to burn out all the impurities out of the crankcase , old gas residue , moisture , all that stuff takes time to burn out and it will foul a new plug out just stay persistant and keep pulling till that stuff burnes out and it will run perfect
another great video for sure !!!!!! its nice to hear something run that good after a rebuild always makes the work worthwhile .. you are the master of chainsaws and thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge
Your correct about the air injection 254's having the exhaust deflector and the earlier ones not having it. The earlier ones also have a standard screw on the air cover and the newer ones have the Phillips screws from what I've seen. Great video, please keep them coming.
Dragged out a 254 today for a days coppiceing the old girl not seen light of day for a few years but worked hard all day ! All be it she is a very tired saw not much compression left in her ! This video has inspired me i have many boxes of 254 and 262 parts from dead saws ! Have you any figures for reducing the squish on a 262xp barrel and piston ? Not attempted the base grind before would love to give it a go , also did you advance the timing at all or is this not viable on these saws? Many questions sorry loved the video cheers
It would be great to have the parts lying around to build a xp saw from scratch in my garage. Awesome series. Where I'm from we say chicken shit into chicken salad. BTW loved the 372 saw college
NGK BPMR7A When it counts.....but I've been using the plugs I got from all those Farmertec kits I have on the ones that I just run around the farm. AND much to my surprise they have works fine.
Is that a Chinese carb you put on? I’m just getting into a 254xp build my grandfather left me before he passed 18 years ago. Love your videos and thanks for the help. He’s There anyway to contact you if I need any help? From Canada by the way and disabled suffering from ptsd. Hopefully this saw rebuild will help some god bless
I know that the generator for the heated handles is mounted on that 4 screw holes on that aluminium seal holder. is that maybe the difference if the use a alu one of a plastic one?
Not certain as all the older ones with the "no hole" on the clutch side had the aluminum seal holder. I didn't find one with the heated handle options either in this set. That would be a question for "Saw Troll" on the forums. Bob probably has the info in those books..
In the IPL's i found i cannot find that plastic holder, and all shows the heater option. and the seal holder with 3 holes for the generator. maybe there have been a service note for. and if you need that part you automatic get the alu piece
Rather have that aluminum part actually! Guess they are the lowest common denominator on ALL models aren't they. My dealer locally said they were NLA BTW at least here.
I cant say for sure if the are here NLA. my dealer has not marked the part as NLA. so I guess I can still get it. but I have to say, my dealer have a lot parts in stock. The even had a new clutch side bearing for a 242, the dreadful not to get bearing (now its in my parts stash)
I haven't busted the 242's down yet to the bearings. But hope to before the year is out. IF that aluminum seal holder for the 254's can be had, I would like another one for a later build. I was told they were NLA...not from spike60 but the local dealer.
Once in a while. Did a 120 a while back. Those things are BUILT! I just don't have the knowledge or parts to really do much with them. The Cutting Edge is across the state. :) Actually interested in those 6100's as I've heard a lot of good things about that class and understand that chassis my "grow" in the future.
Hey I have a 254xp I can get it to run good on the low but when I try to cut it boges down tried to set the high screw but no way... Cleaned the carb looked at the ring it's good .. could the coil have anything to do with it thanks
Tough to diagnose from a distance. Start with a vacuum test to make certain the main seals are good, then a compression test to make certain its over the 130 range. Fuel line ...replace, carb kit ....basically do the basics and you will run into the issue. Probably a fuel starvation issue, bad fuel line of diaphragms in the Carburetor. But regardless...still need to do the basics to make certain the mechanicals are sound.
Found out what was going on with the saw or I think some how the timing was off.. took the crab and coil off and put on the parts saw I had and it works some good.. was thinking it was the coil because it was miss and back fire at high rpm
eBay. Often Huztl for plastic & covers & some cylinders (372BB & 660BB)& a variety of other bits & pieces, but other places as well depending on the saw model and the desired end result. I eBay Meteor brand pistons from dandrikop in Greece for some. Also Devonoshion for stihl screws & other hardware. Have to mention dssjms as well .. just a bunch of places. Also work with a couple of local Husqvarna dealers and have found its hard to beat the Husqvarna OEM price/quality factor for things like Cylinders & cases. Especially for 562's. So it just depends.
@@afleetcommand thanks for respond, just rebuild the saw and showing 176psi. The saw not broke in yet... Serious power from small saw.. All Your video great
Some. I got a batch a logger had in a barn. All covered in Bird Crap. A mess. Deal was If I built 3 runners out of the mess I could have the rest. I built three for him, two for me, and one I sold. Covered the cost of parts. I still have a few things stashed away. But to your question, top ends are still available here both from Husqvarna and a couple of After Market companies. Also bearings and some of the plastic is still available. Top covers are not thought. Point is there is some, just not a complete set of parts from Husqvarna.
Just depends on where it is used.....for sticking those plastic things where there is no loading....it has worked for me, but trying to fix places where there is loading & stress?? Especially in tension vs. compression. No. It isn't a good solution.
time. and we have lots of wood. AND we burn those cookies too.....last but not least, a few gal's at work like those "cookies" (maple or oak) for their projects.

Because I exposed the spline, and can tune with a splined adjustment tool a LOT easier than a screw driver, especially on a running saw. You should have known :)

Great job with that 254, really enjoyed the video. I have an XP version that giving me some grief right now.
Nice finish on this one, Walt!

254 one of the best power to weight ever
You do make the builds look easy. Nice video.

Effective is all that matters!
I have 2 254 and 1 154. They r badass little chainsaws. They can wear out big ger saws
Nice music you listen, Walter!
That lil bugger is a ripper!!!
:)
Off the wall question... What spark plug do you put into a 350 with the flat top piston swap (353)??? Model & Brand? Thanks, Walt!
NGK BPMR7A When it counts.....but I've been using the plugs I got from all those Farmertec kits I have on the ones that I just run around the farm. AND much to my surprise they have works fine.
I like the idea of a swap meet...
Whats the name and model of the carburator of the Husqvarna 254?
Jedna z najlepszych pił jaką mam
Welcome to the channel & hope u enjoy :)
Does the sealing collar around the intake serve any purpose?
does this one not have the "movement limiter" bump stop thingy on the top bolt between the top handle and the tank?

Nope, nothing Aftermarket on those 254's I built. I had 8 of them and just tore them apart and cleaned up what I could to build a couple.
@@afleetcommand ok thanks
I would take that 254 your building I love them saws
I appreciate them a lot more now! Performed way better than expected..
I like these tanks better than 372s also!
The are the same as on the 51/55 only the AV rubbers are different ;-)
didn't do work on a 372, so cannot say how difficult the are.
Marcel Hanenbergh the 372 tank is a pain to install compared to these....that's all...
I know that the generator for the heated handles is mounted on that 4 screw holes on that aluminium seal holder. is that maybe the difference if the use a alu one of a plastic one?

Not exactly certain. Bob would know. I do know there is a lot of interchangeable parts....:)
how do i swap out the antivib rubber on a 254?
Where do you get a lot of your aftermarket parts
eBay. Often Huztl for plastic & covers & some cylinders (372BB & 660BB)& a variety of other bits & pieces, but other places as well depending on the saw model and the desired end result.

where did you get the carb for the 254
My junk pile
@@afleetcommand they are hard to get anymore
@@afleetcommand same as a coil
what compression ratio should be on 254 XP??
Over 140. 180 would be beyond good.
@@afleetcommand thanks for respond, just rebuild the saw and showing 176psi. The saw not broke in yet... Serious power from small saw..
All Your video great
Такой вопрос. Купил оригинал поршневую всё оригинал в упаковке. Почему название на цилиндре MHHLE, должно быть же MAHLE.
Нет идеи, но это заставило бы меня подвергнуть сомнению источник этой части.
как у вас с запчастями в Америке для хускварна 254?

NEVER had any luck with JB weld

Swap meet - if you can’t F your friends, you can’t F anybody. Reminds me of my years at gun shows.🙄
?
hey it spits chips and runs and the why not cut firewood logs rather than those stepping pads
time. and we have lots of wood. AND we burn those cookies too.....last but not least, a few gal's at work like those "cookies" (maple or oak) for their projects.
keep the ladies happy maybe they will trade cookies lol good vid
yup
На поршне написано MAHLE. Странно. Вы думаете подделка?

Husqvarna 254 размер сальников одинаковый справа и слева?
For the bearings? yes.
да для подшипников.а то я слышал что в некоторых пил размер сальников справа свой размер и слева свой размер.наверно в Stihl.
They do have different seals, many saws do like the 372's where there is a "sleeve" between the crank and the seal.
Куда можно вам фото скинуть цилиндра?
Which one?
Который из?
Я посмотрю, если у меня есть OEM, чтобы получить картину, если я это сделаю, я попробую отправить вам фотографию. Не уверен, что TH-cam «Messaging» сделает это. Я попробую.
you're either up late or up early

Может вы подскажите.
В университете есть шутка о том, что моя старшая дочь пошла:
«Вы всегда можете сказать человеку Корнелла, но вы не можете сказать ему много!»
Я покупал официальных дилеров.
Я видел «официальных» дилерских торговцев в качестве OEM здесь как OEM ...: (Не то, что я хочу видеть, но это происходит здесь.
Всё оригинал.
Yup, I always use OEM on these little screamers, when OEM is available. Everything in those video's was based on OEM parts.
