Okay, the taper is widest on the inside of the oil tank eh? So in order to fill the holes with weld and then redrill to factory spec- one would have to pull the entire saw down to grass roots level to accomplish drilling the holes correctly- unless you are privy to some fancy new drill bit that...

Okay, this is a Husqvarna 61 case I happened to have laying about and in two halves and as it is identical to a 266 case- perfect for demonstration purposes. Note the blank unthreaded holes for bar studs and the upper and lower raised ribs. As viewed from inside the oil tank. This is an...

If you are going to "fix" it, I see no point in a short term fix and the use of bolts still leaves the holes directly open to the oil tank innards just to remove the clutch cover and or the bar/chain. So for me no- bolts are out. So is threading for helicoils or any other such screw in thread...

Excellent and a good result. Glad it was a simple fix.

Not for bar studs- no. The 266 is pretty much exactly the same from initial SE to end of run XP's. So if we put some kind of insert in for M8- are we still using a bolt or two to hold the bar in place? This is assuming we can find M8 flange bolts that are 13mm hex drive and not 12mm hex drive.

Okay, so we don't helicoil now and stick with the original botch up threads and odd size bolt that dictates we use D025 bars and have to carry a 14mm spanner to adjust things?

So why helicoil? There are threads already in the case and I would have to either make or buy some other brand of studs to thread in and make it Husqvarna large mount again.

?????? Helicoil what and why for? Husqvarna studs are press taper fit- not threaded.

If you drive a pickup and want to be just like Billy Ray when you grow up- perfect! ;):D

Okay, here is one for you all to debate. Recently picked up a nice 266XP that came with an MS201T in a deal too good to pass up. All in all the 266 is a good strong example- only drawback was some previous owner has done a Bubba to mount Stihl bars on the saw. Not sure if it wan intentional, or...

Bar scabbards is all I use and I tend to use Stihl ones on any and all saws that do not have an original one because in the grand scheme of things they are dirt cheap for the quality when compared to other options I have. If you spend the time with a file to get your chains spot on before...

Oregon mount = D196 or D096 Windsor mount= UXL or TXL Easier to find Husqvarna large mount D009 mount bars can be adjusted with a file to suit I believe?

What does whomever you bought it from say when you bought the subject up with them?

This type of evergreen Cyprus in particular- if a carrying cow consumes around 8kg of dry matter will cause a condition that constricts blood vessels and leads to calf abortion- more likely in the final trimester- but not uncommon in early stages of pregnancy. Yes, there was some interesting...

How much is too much? Usual oiler complaints (especially from Stihl) are about too little oil. Is it slinging and dripping off the chain in normal use?

Cool- so lining up the strike marks worked?

Okay, we are talking newer plastic box store type 10520 arent we? Is the coil grounded by mounting- is there some form of metal to metal contact to the cylinder from the coil? (small plastic saws are not my thing and I am unfamiliar with how things bolt up on them). Disconnect the kill switch...

Had a low leader from a big old ugly Macrocarpa tree snap out the other day, landed on the electric fence shorting it to ground and the paddock (field for you lot) was due to be grazed by in calf cows and them having access to this stuff whilst carrying a calf is a big no no! So, while the...

Been a good long while since I have been into one of these old relics with points. I believe the points are factory set and there is a strike mark on the case that lines up with a strike mark on the points plate- line those up and the points are timed. However, not sure you can swap another...

Video diagnosis is a hard thing to do- mic pick up sound differently to what is actually in the room, lots of noise from the saw bouncing on the metal topped bench- but at a guess I'd say pig rich on the H and flooding the saw out coming off WOT then delivering more fuel than the saw can cope...
