Sold Stihl 026 Saws

[FlyingDutchman]

I have two Stihl 026 saws. Was originally going to make one the parts from both, but both saws seem savable/useable.
Saw 1: 18" Stihl bar, 4 chains spur clutch. 120psi compression. Runs and oils great. I see some imperfections on the piston by the exhaust port that could mean this saw is a piston away from being a really nice saw. There are a couple small cracks, slight melting on the top cover by the muffler, only can see from the bottom. It has a hole in the wire screen that covers the air cleaner entrance.


Saw 2: 16" Total Superbar in nice shape with 1 chain, has a replaceable sprocket clutch drum. Shows 150psi compression. The muffler is way more open than the first saw but it looks factory. Not sure if its earlier or later saw or a Pro with the wrong badging, will double check for the pro components. It has a cracked rear handle by the rear that hasn't broken totally that looks very repairable to me but it won't hold up to normal abuse for sure. It needs a pull rope and pull handle.

I'm asking 220 each plus the ride, or will give a break for both.

Forgot to mention, price is negotiable, but I'm struggling with the idea of letting them go.

I know why people love these things, kind of a dream to work on and really run great. I cannot believe how awful they made the MS290 era saws to work on.

Going to throw a pull rope in the one with it missing and use them in the woods this weekend, and post more pics.

I would not run the one with 120psi and smudges/scratches on the piston.

Cuinrearview, thanks for the advice there. I have a few well used saws that have 120 psi, figured that was in acceptable range. Too bad I spent what I did.

Anyone want to make any realistic offers on these? I'd be willing to swap the engine to one saw and sell the other as parts too, let me know.
