       I just took this husky 66 in trade. What can you tell me about
       them? So far a missing carb what carb was on them?
       I have never dealt with this model and closes thing I had was a
       266xp I traded for and then traded off because I learned no
       parts interchanged with my 2 262  :-[.

       We had them for a year or two. They were one tough saw. If I
       remember correctly they were open port. Been a few years though
       so may be wrong.

       Pretty sure I have a 66 carb here.  I bought a parts saw for the
       ignition and stripped it down.  Not alot of 66's around.  The
       gillardoni cylinder on mine was of VERY nice quality.  It is an
       open port 50mm bore.  Are you missing the entire intake, or just
       the carb?

       Havent got that far yet. Sorry.  Just a glancing look under
       cover while going to shelf.
       I noticed this one has metal brake handle and the one on Mike
       Acres site has plastic handle ??

       The 66 was only on the market for a short time. Maybe 2 to 4
       years??? I think they were all gray top saws. The switch from
       the metal to plastic chain brake handle on many Huskies took
       place during that time frame.
       The 66 uses the same open port P&C that was later used on the
       non-XP 268, as well as on the 268K construction saw. (The jug in
       the box looks like it's from a 372)
       Don't see many of them, as it's a pretty rare model.

       The IPLs go from 1987-06 to 1991-02, but that isn't exact info
       on the production time.
       Regarding the carb, the one listed in all the IPLs was the
       HS224A.

       I got a HS260 off a 272 laying somewhere on a shelf. I wonder
       :-\

       The other saws that used the HS224 was the 266SE from about 1985
       and later the XP , the HS 260 was used on the differernt 268s
       and the 272xp - so I guess it isn't a direct fit.....

       Does the HS224 on the 66 have idle screw built onto carb like
       the HS260 carb or is idle screw on the saws body itself and
       reaches over to carb to adjust linkage that way?

       I don't know that - I am not a tech, I just happen to have
       collected some info, out of general interest.
       If memory serves, I believe the 66 used the same jug as the
       later 268 open-port, btw - but not the same carb.
