       Husqvarna 61
       By: Cut4fun Date: October 26, 2016, 12:27 pm

       What are the difference in say a husky 61 then 268?
       Then making a 272 out of the 61 like the 268 is. Is the intakes,
       carbs etc different on a 61? Other stuff on 61 different then
       268 that needs swapped to do a 272 swap? 272 intake bigger? No
       clue here on these.

       There are two different 61's.  Most are the 'old style' with the
       2 piece ignition and the cases that fit it (and the various top
       covers that fit those cases).  They also have the idle speed
       screw in the case.  Same cases used on the 162, 61, 66, and 266.
       Then there's the late 61's that used the one piece 268/272
       ignitions, the cases that take those ignitions, and the top
       covers whith the correct screw pattern for those cases.  These
       have the idle speed screw on the carb.  I have a set of cases
       from one of these.
       A 61 is a 48mm bore saw with an open port jug and a smaller carb
       and intake.  Can't recall if the late 61's have the larger
       intake and carb as used on the 272.
       This series is very open to parts swapping.  Depending on what
       cases you have, certain swaps take a bit more thinking.

       Is the 2 piece ignition and coil stuff hard to find if this one
       has this?

       They're NLA now.  NOS still floating around ebay and elsewhere.
       Used stuff is around too, and there are now aftermarket coils
       and modules for this series as well.

       Not scarce like many other old saw ignitions are, thankfully.

       Wonder if the 1 piece coil will swap with 2 piece set up using
       same flywheel from 2 piece. hmmmmm

       One piece module will not fit in/on the 2-piece ign cases.

       Will check back later. Got to go cut some wood up for a friend
       and get some ash logs for testing myself.   Then watch game 2
       world series. Go Tribe.

       Of course you could swap cases.  Good used one piece ign cases
       are easy to find.  Not really a need to though IMO.   The 2
       piece ign is reliable, and not hard to find a spare setup for.
       I don't mind the 2 piece setup on my 266XP...
