Here's your chance to own an Orange-sickle legend, the older brother of the 357 and a sibling of the 262. This is the first 254 if had my hands on and I tell you, I'm very impressed with the saw. It is quick revving like a 346, easily stronger than a similar 346 (or 359, 026, 260, 5100, 550), and will thump a 55 to which it is similar in size and displacement. I was cutting a 12" dried oak log and I could do some serious pulling up while top-barring without stalling. Bury the bar and you can stall it, but keep the chain cutting and this saw will throw chips.
I went through this saw and did the following-
new OEM piston and rings
new OEM seals
new OEM fuel line and filter
muffler mod and painted the muffler with several coats of POR15
set the squish at .018"
I don't have a compression reading, but it is healthy. I will get one when the saw cools off.
The saw will come with a GB 18" .325" bar and a loop of Oregon .058 " BPX with about 1/2 the life left. The rails have been trued and the chain is fresh ground.
It is complete, nothing is cracked or missing, and it is ready to fuel and put to work. The price is $325 plus the ride to your house.
