Got this gem off CL yesterday. $100 runs perfect just needed a chain. I don't know what y'all think but I feel it qualifies
I'm pretty proud of it!

I have one. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet. But it needs a clutch.

Picked up this little gem for $35. Replaced recoil spring and we're off to the races. Near mint condition and piston has zero wear.

Yesterday I experienced the rare double suck...
A 026 and a MS260 for a total of $310. No broken parts, both start easy, the MS260 has 175 psi of compression and the 026 185 psi.
The chains are shot, but I can deal with that.

That there is some compression. Bet those saws scream too.

Actually just created a thread on that haha, it's the name of my race truck I've been working on a few years...kind of took the name myself haha. Fits my adrenaline seeking pretty well.
There I was looking at a 660 Magnum that was used in a milling operation, and was frankly beat to poo. Wrong screws, stripped screws, and busted parts. Ridden hard and put away wet. Then I asked about a Husky PHO that was close by. It was a 181SE that had a full wrap handle, a broken cylinder cover, the chain break mount was machined off the clutch housing, but otherwise didn't look too beat up. He tried to start it and grenaded the plastic cord spool in the starter. Crap.... Pulled the top cover and saw the cylinder had a port for a decompression valve. Clearly it had a new jug installed sometime earlier and likely one from a 288. Asked him what he wanted for it. $100 was the response, and into the truck it went.
Follow up... Pulled the muffler to look at the piston skirt and cylinder wall and they both look very nice. Turning the fly wheel by hand makes me think the compression is low, so I will be ordering a Caber ring for it. Are there any 288 pistons available that use two piston rings?
I have a thin ring that is low on compression like that but cuts like crazy
I wouldnt nessasarily change it unless its cutting guttlesly
Is this a Tillotson 216 that came with a 181SE or a 228 used on a 288?

All i know is that it has gobs of compression and no one has tried starting for 20 years. The 24"ish bar and chain were in pretty good shape so NO I don't have buyers remorse for spending $40 sight unseen on a 103cc saw that is in questionable running condition.
Wow. That's way cool. I love big saws and long chip rooster tails.

That's a super cool find and great deal
Yes it's very tidy,both saws only needed a new fuel line each,The guy I bought them off got the second saw to fix up the first one .
