       Husky 266
       By: woodplayer Date: July 18, 2011, 9:13 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Here are some photos of a 266 I picked up for a cheap price.
       (It's nice to have a Stihl dealer that lets me go through is
       stash of old saws!)  I found the exhaust side of the piston
       badly scored and  aluminum transferred to the cylinder.  The
       carb mounting block was defective which was likely the cause of
       the lean burn.  The cylinder cleaned up really nice and I picked
       up a new piston/ring and carb mounting block at ChainsawR.

       The saw runs great and has 150psi.  I noticed that there appears
       to be a grommet/gasket missing from around the throttle link.

       As well there is a hole in the cover which I assume could be
       open for winter time as it would allow the carb to draw warm
       air, however is something missing that would close this hole for
       summer time use?

       Looking at things, it seems if the hole in the cover was closed,
       (and I had a grommet sealing around the throttle linkage) the
       carb area would be completely sealed??  Where is the fresh air
       entry for the carb?

       Good looking saw.  I have 2-266 and 4-5 61's same style 2 part
       ign. There is a bellows that goes around throttle PN:
       503-4450-01.  There is a plug that goes in the cyl. cover for
       summer PN: 501-6152-01.  Any cap/plug that will fit the hole
       will work.   Never thought about where it get air from but it
       does.  Will have to check em out.

       I had the red version 266, a Jonsered 630. Excellent 8 hr a day
       logging saw. I know a few loggers who still cut with 266, 630
       and 670's today.
       Those saws get their air intake through openings below the carb
       between the fuel tank housing. Clean part of the saw in this
       area, also less chance of sucking in snow in the winter while
       falling.

       Thanks Farmboy I found a plug to use in the hole in the cover.
       I ended up removing the carb to find the air intake hole
       underneath as you suggested HolmenTree.  It's pretty small, only
       5/16" diameter.  I also noticed a plug in the side of the
       airbox, any idea what that is for?

       I think I'll just use some foam in the throttle hole, that way
       there is another source of air plus it would be filtered.
       With the 20" bar the saw is front heavy when sitting and the bar
       ends up touching the ground.  It just has a flat style of dog.
       I may try to make a small spiked dog that extends downwards that
       would stop the saw from leaning forward when sitting.

       I had took in on trade a 266xp partial PHO a few years ago
       thinking I could use some parts for another project.  I was
       wrong and decided to just get rid of it instead of learning
       another new to me saw. I had got it running the way it was and
       sold it for $30-$40 as it set PHO.
       Whats the difference in 266xp and 266se?

       Woodplayer the large hole where the throttle linkage goes
       through is the primary air intake hole, the small hole may have
       been for optional heated handle wiring .
       The plug on the side is probably also for heated  handle wiring
       , I could be wrong. Been years since I had a saw like this.

       Not much, except the 266xps are newer, compared to newer 266ses
       (after some time in 1985) -  but older 266ses had another carb,
       and a bit less power and rpm - as far as I know, as did the ol'
       166se (1978, US only).

       [/quote]As I said there is a boot Husky calls it a bellows that
       goes around throttle linkage $4.00.  If it is not filled it
       allows a lot of dust into carb. area.  61,272,181,281,288,Jred
       625-670 all use a bellows to seal carb, area.  The small hole in
       the center is for a rubber plug PN: 501-5510-01 Seal that
       supports the carb.  Holman is right on the plug on the right
       it's for heated handle wiring.  IPL too large to post.

       I see the bellows in the 266IPL and 66 IPL, and the plug that
       supports the carb is listed as 501-5510-01 in the 66 IPL and as
       503-6976-01 in the 266 IPL.
       But this still brings me back to my original question, if these
       holes are all sealed up, where does that carb get fresh air
       from?? ???
