I have the same saw. I put a hyway 52mm top end, and pop-up piston in it, no base gasket running .023" squish and added the 272 HD air filter which fits perfectly under the hood, even with the plastic breather. Runs phenomenally. Gave the piston and cylinder a tickle aswell. Pulls a 28" full house no problem.

I had one of these, it is essentially a second gen model 66. Open port, 272 carb, intake, filter setup. They ain't bad saws! If you want to squeeze more power out of it, yes a 272 with closed ports will make more power, but these run pretty good as is from the one I had.

The 268 open ports came out later after the 268xp , when the 272xp replaced the 268xp as the top 70cc class saw husky put the open port Gillordoni cylinder on the 268 and dropped rhe XP designation, other than that its the same as the XP. The open port 268’s run really well and hold there own against the 268-272xps.

Found this quote from someone who owns both - "I have 1 of each and the 268xp outcuts the 268 pretty easily. Not by a huge margin , but it is noticable. The closed port 268xp has about a half hp more than the open port 268. Both of mine have tillotson hs260a carbs. Either will cut firewood and get work done, but the 268xp is a better saw."

The 268 is a open port. The XP version was a closed port might of had a different carb also. There's a half a horse difference between the two. XP having the half horse more. 268xp was made from 1987-1997.

The absolute best penetrating oil known to man is a 50/50 mix of acetone and regular automatic transmission fluid. Mix ya up a small container to keep around (one that acetone will not dissolve) and get a squirt down that exhaust bolt hole. 99% chance it'll pop right out if you let it sit half an hour or so especially if the head+bolt is kinda warm when you apply it. Shjts pure magic.
