Sold Wanted: Stihl 026 pro

[CarolinaGuy]

Looking to buy a decent condition ready to go Stihl 026 Pro model saw. Would like one for cutting fire wood, my 391 is really overkill and the old Echo 440 EVL walked off so wanting a good replacement that hopefully will last me several years. Anyone have one laying around that they want to sale?

Thanks guys!

I've got a good running 026 non pro though? Send me a pm if interested ?

 

[CarolinaGuy]

Thanks for the welcome chipper! Stihlsmoking, really looking for the pro model, I know the only difference is the adjustable oiler & the decomp valve, but both are nice features if I can actually find them.

I really appreciate the offers guys.

I have had a 026 Pro and I currently have a 026 Metal Tag/Red Lever and a 260 Pro. I sold the 026 Pro because the Red Lever 026 was stronger than the 026 Pro. The non-adjustable oiler puts out more oil than most the adjustable oilers on other saw's that I have (at wide open on the adj) and there is not enough to compression to need a decomp on a 50cc saw (even a ported one). Most guys just plug them because they usually leak valuable compression at some point. Just my .02 worth though. Happy Hunting

026 Pro also has compensating carb and different air filter.

I'm starting to think no one is willing to let there pro model go, lol can't blame them. Still hopeing someone has an extra one they might be willing to part with.

Have seen lots of nice non pro models that would make a fine saw but really wanting a pro model.

Thanks guys!

See your PM's

For those saws with adjustable oilers, I never run any of them on less than high output. On the 026 I think it's a non issue. I myself have a few of them and wouldn't pay more for a "pro" than a non pro. But as a buyer, get what you want. No sense buying something else.

 

[GrassGuerilla]

Some would even make the argument that the non pro has a more dependable oiler. In all honesty, I'd choose one based on condition rather than pro or non. And fwiw, my pro started better without the decomp pushed. Never really understood that.

 

[CarolinaGuy]

I was under the impression that the pro model oiler didn't oil at idle but the non pro did? Can anyone confirm this?

I have had some decent looking 026's offered, one 260 but was sold before I could respond. Trying to decide on either a running 026 shipped for $275 or spending a little extra on a MS260 model. Any reason to choose one over the other? I would like to get something worked out by the end of the weekend.

Thanks guys!

There is so little difference it's not worth worrying about.

 

[drf255]

THe 260 has a slightly better air filter, but annoying flippy caps.

The oiler on the non-pro does oil at idle, but your roughly at 1/5 the rpm of a running saw. So it doesn't matter as much as you would think.

You are correct about the oilers. Whether it matters probably depends on how much you idle your saw. The big reason to choose between those two models, to me, is the flippin fuel and oil caps.
I agree about the saw starting better without the decompressor, I removed mine.

Any 026 PRO that runs well and looks good has to be worth over $300 shipped. A new MS361 "only" costs $600. Just MHO.
