Can anyone key me in on the difference please? Thanks!
That's all know of to wish I had one ill get me one somedayAdjustable oiler and decomp cylinder that I know of.
Besides the adjustable oiler, the "Pro" MS260 also has a bigger bore. 44.7mm vs 44mm
The 260 saws all have the larger bore... both pro and non-pro. So it is not a pro/no-pro difference.
I've never seen a MS260 that wasn't a "pro" version and I've not seen any 026's that were designated with the "pro" sticker. Do such saws exist? We've used a lot of both. My point was the MS260 "pro's" came with a bigger bore than the 026's. That is the difference, besides the adjustable oiler, and of course, the value adding sticker.
The pros I've had also have the compensator carb w Hi/Lo, like my 036 pros.
Not sure if this was universal?
The Intellicarbs came later in the 026 line (both PRO and non) that was used on the 260s as well. There are two types of air filters for the 026, a smaller early one and larger later one for the Intellicarb that is also on the 260.
People of Earth: The PRO 026 and 260s only had the 2 main differences (decomp and adj. oil pump), otherwise they are the same as the non-pro saws. There were a lot of other differences over the model run for the 026 and the 260, including AL and composite top handles, open and progressively choked up mufflers, three types of fuel tank vents, red and black action levers, several different air filter and top covers, metal and plastic starters, many different carbs including fixed jet ones, rim and spur drive sprockets in 3/8 and .325, a C model with the easy adjusting chain tensioners, as well as Arctic, Winter and WVH models with heated handles, heated carbs, and a generator winding & flywheel. The 260 saws had the larger P&C on most (but not all) of them, as well as the flippy caps.
Are you speaking of the US version of the 026 ?
The pro saws for the Canadian market were built in West Germany and now just Germany. They are a different version from the US saws. My 1989 026 does not have a decomp valve but has the adjustable oiler and hi/lo carb adj. The US did not see this saw till 1993.
