After hearing all the talk about how good an 026 is, I figured it was high time I see what the big deal is all about and try to make one.
The two on the right were freebies from a Sthil dealer, scored up piston and cylinders with other parts missing. The one on the left e-bay whole parts saw with another bad engine.
Which will be the lucky canditate for the new top end I bought, so far the it's the middle one, have to tear them down a little more to check seals and bearings.
Got some other used parts and hopefully get two 026's up and running, with a little more scrounging might get three 026's, could happen.
Don't really need three 026's, maybe sell one or two locally to recoup some money. The best one, if this works will be added to the working stable, maybe keep another one for a back-up or a porting experiment. Wish me luck
