My favorite thing about my saws is that not one of them ran when I purchased them. My favorite place to buy them is Ebay, advertised as not running from pawn shops. Pawn shops know nothing about saws, so they sell them as not running. Usually it's typical fuel issues. My worst gamble saw had a scored cylinder. I purchased a super clean, used, full motor for it for 50 dollars. Runs like new. Tinman is so right. You can have good saws for little money. Thanks for the video!
My first husqvarna was a very tired 266xp that had a hard life and was cobbled back together with jb weld and hopes n dreams lol if i knew then what i know now, I'd have it torn down and running like brand new thanks to your channel! You are such a good dude tinman thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge on all these cool vintage power saws! I really miss that old 266...i can't wait to find another one!
Your puttering is better than most people’s best. I am beginning to get the saw bug bad. I found some old Mac saws in a barn in Virginia and I had a moment of silence and thought I heard angels sing. 🤣🤣🤣. Great video buddy. God bless and always have nothing but love. ❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️
I’m glad that saw ran for you with no screws in the oil pump. Tells me I need to break down and buy a vac/pressure pump to solve my 630 issues. That’s exactly what it does but I can’t find the leak
Nice Job! Yea those turdsaws... always something!🤣... just picked up a t425 from a buddy and made it 1 pound lighter by... cleaning it!🤣🤦♂️have a nice Weekend Greetings from Germany
nice work Tinman, a great result. it is a beautiful early summer Saturday morning here in Australia. you have inspired me to grab my sons and a dead saw from the shed and see if we can make some noise. :D
Stihl S10 results, no noise, but it will live again with very minor work (and a huge amount of cleaning). for the first time my 11yo listened to what i said to do and how i suggested to do it. he did a good job and i think learnt a bit. :D my 5yo surprised me by playing "Tinman" with the bits. 😂🤣😂 the bad; absolutely filthy and a bit scruffy looking on the outside. burred up exterior screws etc. has a mud wasps nest in the muffler against the piston, just below the rings which has left a patch of corrosion on the piston and a few fresh light scratches in the bore from being pulled over half a dozen times by some idiot (me). it had sucked in the cylinder-case gasket so prob never ran right. the good; once the grot is removed inside the covers, the outside of the cylinder etc look really really good. very minimal wear. it has never thrown a chain etc. the only noticeable wear is on the sprocket. it cannot have more than a dozen tanks through it. i am guessing it never ran right from new, due to the gasket being sucked into the left transfer. the owner tried plenty of times to sort out the problem but never pulled the cylinder, so missed it. the majority of the wear looks to be from kicking around in a shed for over 40 years. the piston is a bit of a worry but has really long skirt i think the corrosion can be removed without effecting the wear surface on the piston. other than that it should clean up really well.
Fun video after a long day at work the Tinman turns the frowns upside-down. Awsome little tips and tricks about these saws. Keeping my eyes peeled for one
Love your videos. If I wasn't in Hampshire (the English one!) I'd come and see you! Got a 266 XP that I cooked and had to put a new pot and cylinder on. It was AM part as my local dealer said OEM were no longer available. Fitted it all fine but still won't start. Spark seems fine (but nothing to compare it with) and compression likewise (not don't have a tester) so I'm scratching my head. Defo want to get it going again as it's a great saw. I'll get it tested for pressure somehow and then take it from there.... I'll also watch loads of your videos for inspiration!!
Tinmaaaaan, are you kidding brother!?? That is friggin awesome hahahha. Now that's a great surprise eh? Definitely war waggon but has serious potential.. Something new to play with Tinman, very nice. SLANT'E
WOW! Tinman, another great video, I have learned so much from watching your channel, I love the big saws, the wood cutting, and all the tuning advice, on the hunt for a Husky to play with, so far working on some older Stihl's and Homelite's. Thank you.
Great video as usual Tinman! Keep them coming, love the info. Those saws seem to be hard to find here in Virginia, Ill keep looking cant wait to get one!
Nice video! If you enjoy tinkering, these old saws are proven performers. If you can find one cheap and fix it yourself with proper maintenance it will keep you cutting for a long time, even at the professional level. At a fraction of the price of a new pro saw. Thanks for inspiring others to keep these old workhorses alive. 👍
That what we did check if rings was worn on a motor or if it was a possible valve issue was add oil cylinder. Maybe it be the same with saw also. If ring or cylinder worn do a test. Of course that saw doesn't have vavles.
The 44 I picked up turned out to be a 444 with a 44 recoil and chain brake. Also got the 44 donor saw. The donor piston and cylinder are scored(single ring). The piston on the 444 is a double thin ring. Tag on the saw says 444 also👍
Classic title 😂.. I see" turdsaw " n I'm watching..lol..dang tinman 20k is awesome congrats dawg..theres a reason ...its great stuff....think i was 850 or 870 subscriber or something like that n Friday nite my saw nite as well with your vids playing..🤘
I got my 266XP for free off of Craigslist Portland Oregon! I called this guy about a wood stove he was giving away for free. I told him that I needed a smaller stove because I had to many chainsaws and was running out of room! He asked me if I would like four more chainsaws for free! He said that his Grandpa and his Dad had saved them because there was something special about all four of them but didn't know what that was that made them so special! They didn't run and had never got around to figuring out what was wrong with them and he was moving and didn't have room in his Uhaul to take them with. I got so damned excited about the saws that I didn't pay attention to the speed limit and acquired a $260:00 dollar ticket on my way to picking them up! There was a 266xp from Tomos Slavaina Yugoslavia, A 1967 Lombard Comango, A Stihl 030AV not sold in the United States in awesome condition! And a John Deere/Echo 510EVL Koritz. And all were simple fixes! The 266xp is factory ported and and is a bad mofo! Every guy that has heard it run asked the same question! How much you selling it to me for? I explain to them that you can't just go down to your local saw shop and purchase another one! I think it is so fun to put the boots to all of the expensive plastic pieces of shit that the EPA has molested and the saw was manufactured in 1986🤣
I put a tag on my project saws with the serial number on it. The date it was last run and what issues the saws have. I have a file folder for every saw and piece of equipment I own containing a maintenance and repair/build record with record for were I sourced parts from. Receipts, build ideas, parts list and repair manual. When the season is right I can put a project in the shop pull the folder and get to work. It is time well spent especially when alot of projects seem to follow you home.
Hi Tinman. First time commenting just wanted to let you know that on a KS cylinder that 50 that you saw doesn't mean its 50mm. Sitting here watching the video I happened to have the jug off of my 61 on the table next to me and checked it. It is a KS and the number on it starts with 50 also it appears to be a part number and it is definitely 48mm. I am really enjoying the channel.
I can back this up, just checked my cylinder bin, the 61 Cylinders I have are KS, and the number does start with 50. I have not seen a closed port KS 266 jug yet.
I wonder bout the guy who sold it.. seems to me he found out it needed bearings n sold it before she blew. Happy to see it go to a good home n hope he got a good deal👍would be curious to know how much he paid?
It be interesting get a saw like this. And do minum and see how long it will last for till it needs some tlc and complete rebuild. What the lowest build cost keep a turd saw going. That or a true factory complete saw. Just like a factory barn find car that all original.
Watching a master at work, great information videos on this 200 series. Wow tinman thanks for all the info. How's the give way saw doing, have you been ran it again? Keep up the great information brother, always have a safe one to you and fam/friends
A hippy died, and went striate to hell. The dude with the pitch fork told him I have been expecting you. Since I like you, I will give you three choices on how you will spend eternity down hear. So, the hippy looked in door #1 and saw dudes’ bare foot on hot colas of fire. Then he looked into door #2 and saw dudes laying on beads of nails with Elephants walking on them. Last choice door #3 he saw dudes standing in excrement up to there necks with cups of tea. Yup I will do it this way. He jumps right on in and gets his tea when all of the sudden the horn blew. And the voice said tea break is over back on your heads.
Life ,honey, and 2stroke fumes only high I need tinman another good video
Another 200 series Husky will live to cut another day. I love it. Always helps to have bolts in the oil pump hey. Thank you Tinman. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Is that tea to honey ratio around 40:1? Gotta protect those bearings. Lol.
Good to see you tinman.
Those 266s are wonderful saws, thanks for the video

Cant wait to see what you do with this saw. Stock or ported the fun is in the build. Keep up the excellent work my friend.
That was great, a quick thorough diagnosis, Thumbs Up !
I love it when Saws runs after so much care for repairing. I'm now Looking forward to get Husqvarna 288 in Ebay.
Your puttering is better than most people’s best. I am beginning to get the saw bug bad. I found some old Mac saws in a barn in Virginia and I had a moment of silence and thought I heard angels sing. 🤣🤣🤣. Great video buddy. God bless and always have nothing but love. ❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️

I thought supper was just a South West Pa thing. Everyone else eats dinner. Thanks man. Love the info as always.
I have supper in west michigan
I have super in Idaho.
@@errolpoxleitner7901 that's super duper!
So glad I found this channel. I’m learning lots.
That saw reminds me so much of my 266 Xp I bought for $50 and all it needed was a fuel line and a good cleaning. Love my 266 turd saw.
Yes! I have a bunch like that! So fun!
Thanks Timman. Good info. Nice saw to build.
Great to see.
I just got a running 261 with a good jug and a 261 parts saw two days ago. I'm pumped.
Great video..... Thanks bro!
Keep up the great work. Your videos are very informative. These old saws are built well and you continue to help us all keep them running strong.
Thanks for sharing your time with us 👊
Nice Job! Yea those turdsaws... always something!🤣... just picked up a t425 from a buddy and made it 1 pound lighter by... cleaning it!🤣🤦♂️have a nice Weekend

Crankseals are my new issue as the saws I work on are getting older. . Thanks a lot. Bruce From Alberta
Those 200 series of the huskies are really cool . Love the way they sound . Thank you for the video . Learning and building confidence .

Love it! It’s a runner!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
20k subs and what a ride it’s been! Congratulations! Thank you Tinman for sharing all your knowledge
I'd really enjoy seeing a video of you replacing the crank seals as if it were a customer just having a faulty saw repaired at a shop.
Donny Walker,Buckin and Tinman videos!! What a great Friday night
Great to see another Friday night in the shop. Fun to see a fresh saw resurrection. Great video Tinman
Great videos! Your live was a kick last time Thanks .
Good stuff tinman.
Always find it interesting seeing what people throw together to get the job done! Definitely a solid saw with alil TLC👍 thanks for sharing!
Awesome video, really liking this series.
Tinmaaaaan, are you kidding brother!?? That is friggin awesome hahahha. Now that's a great surprise eh? Definitely war waggon but has serious potential.. Something new to play with Tinman, very nice. SLANT'E
Hey Tinman....another Friday in the shop and a huge amount of info condensed into 1/2 hr. Thanks again
Don't forget the handle. That's sounds strong. Just needs a little love.
WOW! Tinman, another great video, I have learned so much from watching your channel, I love the big saws, the wood cutting, and all the tuning advice, on the hunt for a Husky to play with, so far working on some older Stihl's and Homelite's. Thank you.
Nice saw, it will be a great build. I've been look and they are not easy to find. Anxious to watch this build. Good stuff...tc. Mahalo🤙🤙
I never run by these in Southern OR. Seems like we mostly have old Macs, Stihl, and cheap home owner saws.
That neat video. A poor man chainsaw. And most of use when we young and just getting started were poor.
Great video as usual Tinman! Keep them coming, love the info. Those saws seem to be hard to find here in Virginia, Ill keep looking cant wait to get one!
I do enjoy these will it run videos!

Thx for the video tinman!
Sounds good for a parts saw!
Good old huskys great reliable saw
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend all
Love the sound of a 266. I have one here in the UK. Great video 👍
nice!
Looks like spark between the cylinder and the case or maybe I'm just seeing things !
The biggest selling saw of all time.
Good when new. But much prefer the 281 or even 181 the best factory hotsaw ever made.
Love this Tinman
Leave it stock, it will be a cracking saw. These are my favourite all time saws. Stay safe keep warm ;-)
Oh! Congrats on 20 grand!
That what we did check if rings was worn on a motor or if it was a possible valve issue was add oil cylinder. Maybe it be the same with saw also. If ring or cylinder worn do a test. Of course that saw doesn't have vavles.
Drapery hook throttle linkage. I love it. I really like my 200 series Husky.
Definitely interested in follow up on this one. Cool saw.
You know the tin man’s live in a good life always happy
The 44 I picked up turned out to be a 444 with a 44 recoil and chain brake. Also got the 44 donor saw. The donor piston and cylinder are scored(single ring). The piston on the 444 is a double thin ring. Tag on the saw says 444 also👍

The fin designs are unique to each cylinder as well. Hard to describe without being able to post a picture of them all lined up here.

make it stock see how she cuts we do not see 266 here much at all /// i like them they look good to work on
excellent demonstration on showing an air leak to folks...dont always have to pressure/vaccum test...excellent tinman
Can't wait to see what happens to this one, just recently got a 2172 and am thinking about doing it up tinman style
Great saw tinman
You are getting a spark on the outside/exterior in between the carb and the cylinder.
I put a tag on my project saws with the serial number on it. The date it was last run and what issues the saws have. I have a file folder for every saw and piece of equipment I own containing a maintenance and repair/build record with record for were I sourced parts from.

A 61 is only 48mm sence time began.unless up graded.
I can back this up, just checked my cylinder bin, the 61 Cylinders I have are KS, and the number does start with 50. I have not seen a closed port KS 266 jug yet.
Painted cases would explain the orange oil pump
Here we go again in the Tinman Saw Shop. 👍🏼
Congrats on 20k subs.
Maybe someone changed it to sell it online as a 288 Husky I bet most people would not have spotted that
I wonder bout the guy who sold it.. seems to me he found out it needed bearings n sold it before she blew. Happy to see it go to a good home n hope he got a good deal👍would be curious to know how much he paid?
Your chainsaws are so awesome
Nice
I just picked up a 44 and a 266👍
It be interesting get a saw like this. And do minum and see how long it will last for till it needs some tlc and complete rebuild. What the lowest build cost keep a turd saw going. That or a true factory complete saw. Just like a factory barn find car that all original.

I'd say make sure it's oiling,fix the throttle and bar it up and give her a go. Nevermind jst got to the bad bearing part
Clever trick with the lube. You can’t help but learn something when you watch a Tinman video!
Bagus keren mesin2 nya
Most 288 that I owned the coil was under the top cover or the igniter
Hey I got a few turdsaws myself.
A hippy died, and went striate to hell. The dude with the pitch fork told him I have been expecting you. Since I like you, I will give you three choices on how you will spend eternity down hear. So, the hippy looked in door #1 and saw dudes’ bare foot on hot colas of fire. Then he looked into door #2 and saw dudes laying on beads of nails with Elephants walking on them.

And the voice said tea break is over back on your heads.
Tore down a late 266 today that had a KS top end, it was a fine thread clutch crank.
Husky 266, way ahead of their time when they came out in the mid 1980’s
I need to grab a 200 series husky, purely for tinkering purposes!
That's the course thread clutch on there an older saw 80s probably.
Have a question. I have a Ms 460 with intermittent spark . Replaced the coil same thing . Need some help please. Thanks
Looks like you got a grounding problem. Looks like it's arcing from the cylinder to the case.
I want a 200 series so bad but they are so rare here in Finland even though husqvarna is right there in the neighbor
Tinman are you pulling on the shaft in and out or 12 to 6 when you diagnosed the bearing were bad? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
