New member...can't seem to access tutorials section

Not sure where to post this question, but I was trying to read a
tutorial one member created about converting a Husqvarna 261 to
a 262xp. It's an older thread, probably 4 or 5 years old, but I
find myself going in circles trying to find the actual
"tutorials" section, and when I cut/paste a link I get a message
saying it either does not exist, or I don't have authorization
to access it (must be a forum member, so it says.) Well, I am a
new member, and am hoping someone can steer me in the right
direction. Thanks a lot. Phil

He is no longer here and I know nothing about his links.

But only difference IMO is a dished piston was used in a 261.
Put a flat top 262 piston in it.
The 261 I think used 2 shoe clutch and the 262 used a 3 shoe
clutch.
That is the only differences I know.
Now if leaving stock porting a 262 1990 K&S with the bigger 87
carb was the best. The others with mahle cylinder etc later on
didnt have the same good stock porting and used a smaller 120
144 carb and I would guess thats is what the 261 used too.
Hope that helps. Because I tried his link and it is no longer
working like you noticed.
