My brother has the XP version. Bought it new from our local dealer. I’m thinking of using it but I have a 550xp, 372xp (pre EPA), and new 395xp.

The 268 was 100 percent made in Sweden. They were Husqy's answer to guys like me who leaned out 266's a blew them up in 6 months. They put this rediculuosly huge jet in the carb so you couldn't get them to scream. As soon as we started putting 266 carbs on them they cut real well. Then they stopped making them for the 272. They were not fakes

The 61 is similar but 48mm piston and smaller carb. Hs163 15.9 mm Venturi. Not a powerhouse but long life span and many cuts on one tank of fuel. Less rpm’s makes for a very long lifespan in these very well made machines.

Later model 61’s came with the larger carburetor 17.5mm Venturi. I doubt it made a difference on the humble 61’s open port cylinder. The later Jonsered 630,670 and husky 268xp and 272xp made good use of the larger carb. Coincidentally, the husky 162se and Jonsered 630 super are the same cylinder.

ALL 268's are 100% Husqvarna made in Sweden. My recoil cover says 268XP and the top cover as well, however the serial number just says Husqvarna 268. Tough as hell though.

I have a 268 XP...Fantastic large saw. It has eaten alive anything I've thrown at it. There was both a 268 and a 268XP version made by Husqvarna. I have the same problem with dealers today not knowing this is a legitimate Husky saw. 'Never heard of it...blah blah blah'... No, it isn't a chinese knockoff... dumb dealer. Or, maybe he knows it is a classic and is trying to get you to sell it to him cheap..

Dose it have a black husky tag with serial number. The Chinese saws don’t and the are a brighter orange. And look at the make of the carburetor
