Looking for info on some saws I just bought, and where to find carb kits etc.

[Hurricane Sandblasting]

Hey there, I have a question for all of you. I ended up buying a bunch of saws of an older fellow that is going into an old folks home, he said they all ran when he put them away. I got about 6 or 7 old Stihls and a husky 266XP. I already have a bunch of saws so I’m going to sell a few of these to friends of mine but I’d like to do a carb rebuild because they have been sitting for so long. Where is the best place to find parts for older saws? I haven’t had to buy parts for older saws for a long time because I run my newer ones day to day and can’t remember where I used to look. So here’s what I got, all for 50$!! I’ll attach some pics below. In the mix is a mystery “pro” saw id sure like to find out what it is. Is there a way to find that out by serial number?? A friend of mine wants the MS 360 right away but the decompressing valve was replaced with a bolt, any idea where I could get one of those?

024AV electric quickstop
025
028WB
038AV
MS 360
266XP

So my question is which ones of these are pro saws? They are pretty much all going to be for sale unless I fall in love with one so how much are they worth once I clean ‘em up and get ‘em running tip top. For the price I couldn’t go wrong, I know I’ll use one of the smaller ones for a beater quadding saw.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You have to know which carburetors are exactly on each saw to find the right kits.

“RK-23-HS” made by tillotson is the part number for the carb kit for the 266 from Husqvarna usually

Thanks I’ll check into that.

No sweat brother,
Usually the 266xp will have a tillotson from my experience, earlier se models with the tillotson hs163, then for the xp named models They switched to the larger hs224, both use the same carb kits

What’s the difference between the XP and SE? Not he serial number plate it does say 266 SE. Maybe the plastic broke and he just threw one on from another saw?

From what I know, the se is just the earlier pre 86 model, they switched names from se to xp after 85 or 86.
So my 1985 is a 266se, my 1990 266 is an xp. Just different names for the same saw if I’m correct.
If the first number in the serial number is 6 or under, it is probably a newer top cover on the older saw because the original broke.
If you’re top cover is clean inside you can sometimes tell the year it was manufactured from the date stamp above where the muffler is

Have a look on the carburetor itself. The model description is on there.

For $50 on that pile deserves a YOU SUCK! That's an AS joke not an insult. Welcome.

Don't start buying carb kits/parts until you take them down some and determine if worth fixing, or destined to be parts saws.

"Pro" is a marketing term. They are are all decent saws but the 025 is a clamshell design.

Great score. There's a guy in Quesnel that has a stockpile of chainsaw parts, he might be able to help you out. Unfortunately I can't remember his name, but his shop was over near the auto wreckers. Might be called North Cariboo Saw Repair. If you want to make your money back I'd take that mystery pro saw off your hands as is. I'm no expert but it may be an 026.

I have a related question. I seem to be able to look up which carb kit on the zama website, but I have not found an easy to use one for Walbro

Should be a 224
first off…you suck!
2nd, the 266 and 360 are junk and you should send them to me…will pay freight

Cover May have been replaced at some point.

With the carburetor description you can find them with a little search on the net.

Thanks! I have somehow scored some of the best deals this year, it’s unbelievable.. if you think that’s a good deal I don’t even want to tell you about the stock trailer and tri axle deck over trailers I got off him..!

That would be rob with Cariboo tractor! Great guy I just haven’t gone there to see him yet since my back surgery! He’s really great with trading too if just for the record!

Well they’re all forsale! Just might need to add a few extra bucks on top of the shipping! Haha

What were you thinking of asking for the 266

What about the 024AV? Im your neighbor in Alberta so shipping shouldn't be terrible
