Not real sure the difference lol I really like the look of the 250

I had a 250 one thing to look for is if it has been converted to the Tillotson HL series carb. That would be a plus over the older flat carb

That would be a large frame saw. I don't have a 250 but they are kinda neat. I do believe you can find those anywhere it seems like. Those are what @Boomer 87 and I would consider a thunder club.

I like my SP80......

 

[Kensie1988]

gotcha, ive seen a couple but they are around $100 but there are others $200 plus

I like my SP80......

I do too, 5 bucks oughta get it right? Cash or check hahaha in all seriousness the 82cc 10 series are sweet saws.

 

[Kensie1988]

I like my SP80......

Is that a good line of saws?

 

[astnmacgto]

Is that a good line of saws?

Sure are, they have the sp80, sp81, sp800, pro mac 800, pro mac 850, super pro 850, they are all the 82cc and they are awesome runnners, all antivibe I do believe. I have a pro mac 850 and I love it.

dont get hung up on THAT color of yellow....
This is the shade you really want lol

 

[Sty57]

I think so, they have plenty of balls for sure. I think there small and light for a 80cc saw of that era.
This one's never been apart and still has good compression.

 

[astnmacgto]

Actually the sp81 is rigid, oh and there's also a double eagle 80 and pro mac 850 super I forgot about

Ive never seen a 5200 with a chain brake. What gives?

 

[Sty57]

And Blue, Red & Green....and oh Hell I like'em all.

It was an option on them. From what I've been told. Most of the ones in Canada had them.

I'm thinking it had to be a Canadian saw.

 

[Boomer 87]

I like em all as well. If they survived as long as some have, and still run, thats a testiment to the build quality of the old iron.

 

[Boomer 87]

Not that i dont have plastic fantastic, but there kinda just "meh" in comparison to the oldies

 

[Sty57]

If you look at the 5200 IPL'S. The chain brake was sold as a kit. I'm thinking most people never bought them.

 

[Boomer 87]

Back then chain brakes werent nearly as big of deal as they are now, so i imagine its a rarity to see one outfitted with one.
