268 open port cylinder 268xp closed port cylinder True, and the power specs are 3 5 kW 4 8 hp for the xp, and the 3 2 kW 4 4 hp for the later non-xp one A little more rpm for the xp as well, but not a major difference When the 268xp was replaced by the 272xp in 1991, they started making the non-xp 268 as well, using the open-port top end from
- 262 vs 266 vs 268 ?? | Arborist, Chainsaw Tree Work Forum
If the 268 is a 1 piece coil I would build it over the 266 Parts are easier to find and the 272xp top end will bolt on and fit under the stock covers although it is heavier than your old 262xp the 272xp top end on the 268 crankcase will have more hp than a 262 ever thought of I havent looked at the coil as it is a running saw

The closed port 268 actually has a higher power rating than the 272 But the 2 hp is not easy to notice We run a 24 full comp on a stock 268 and it's not too bad But I agree that it's a lot happier with a 20 You get that wrong, the 268xp was rated at 3 5 kW 4 8 hp, and the 272 at 3 8 kW 5 2 hp The open port 268 was rated at 3 2 kW 4 4 hp
- Please explain the diff between husky 268, 272, and 272xp
The 268 became a non-XP in the US with the arrival of the 272XP They were called 268Special and had the larger starter cover decal as on the 272XP So where in the transition does that leave my 268XP Special? Just curious, as mine has a closed port jug instead of the open port version
