E-bay 026 Super and 026 x2

[Greenclimber]

The person is selling these 3 as a set. He doesn't even have them listed as being an 026. I'm not sure what they will sell for, but it's worth watching, and bidding. I just want one 026..

You're not going to get my screamin hot rod MS260, That's for sure!!!!!!!!!

It's eBay. They will probably go for $500 plus.

Why don't I find yard sales like that? I only find Craftsman, Poulan, and Homelite junk saws at yard sales.

Cgraham1 you're on the West-coast. That's like the Chainsaw Capital of the world.
I was on a road-trip last summer/fall in Northern CA. I passed up on a Stihl MS440 for $250... Came with a 25" and 36" bar, extra chains, bar oil, tools, and other odds and ends... Craigslist add for "tree climbing gear" Just south of Eureka a little ways. What an amazing state! Huge trees! I hope to go back one day, and travel up to Oregon and Washington.

Oh, I also passed up on a nice nimble Echo CS670P in Weaverville for $225... At the time I was spoiled and wanting something bigger after passing up on the MS440. Thought I'd find a better deal... Ended up leaving the Westcoast without any big saws because of my fickleness.

Oh? what's so hot about your MS260?

If you raise the compression and do some porting work including opening the muffler, you will LOVE an 026!!
Terry Landrum has a kit available.

lol I have a nice 026 not the pro model but been took care of I checked when I bought it and had 175 compression and I have less then what those three are listed at right now

 

[cgraham1]

I'm pretty impressed with mine and it's only got a muffler mod and a WT-194 carb... Mine's right about 175, too.

How high is your compression?

I've never checked the psi. I had Randy MM cut the squish band .020" then I accidently set the squish clearance to zero and it ran really good. But I took it apart and sanded some more off the squish band and set the clearance to .015" if I remember right. I did my 036 the same and it has 185 psi

 

[cgraham1]

Here's my stock 036, about 170...
