Found a 266 Husky that needs a piston, are they a decent saw?

In 1981 they sold over 5000 of them on Vancouver Island alone and I bought 4 of them at the time. They were my first saws and I was a newbie then. I seized a couple because I leaned them out to much.
They vibrate too much for any kind of prolonged use though. It's main competitor at the time was the Partner 5000 Plus or it's Jonsered counterpart (490?), in the tree spacing sector anyway.

Very true, the 266 was a bit overpowered for tree spacing. The Finlanders I worked with prefered the smaller Partner and Jonsered.The 490 sure was the counterpart of the P5000 - but they both are a lot (18cc) smaller than the 266......

Yeah this one is a 266SE, whats the difference between that and the XP? Years??
Can you still get the P&C for that model, if you can I would! I have seen that saw of my Grandfathers do a pile of work! tough!
Looks like Bailey's has them.... quite pricy though. Kinda making me think twice about this saw. A piston is one thing but 384.00 for a P&C is another
That could be another 5100:greenchainsaw:
How much are they asking for the 266?
I'm thinking my buddy told me 75.00 but was sure they'd take less, I guess it runs. I haven't seen it yet. Maybe this week I can go look at it.
