[QUOTE="SteveSr, post: 6081797, member: 3373"] Thanks for everyone's input. I think I will defer judgement until I can fully disassemble the saws and determine the condition of the rest of the rubber and the amount of hours on the saws. I have seen 15-25 year old 026's with good seals and a 10 year old MS-260 with a big flywheel side crankshaft leak. Go figure! The 260 was well worn and the compression was down a bit. Don't know if it was high hours on the saw or running lean from the leak that caused the wear on this engine. One thing that I have yet to see is an intake boot on this series of saws that was hardened or showed signs of pending failure regardless of age. The intake boots must be good rubber! [/QUOTE]
