That saws a beaut! Id have snatched it up in a heart beat!

Ive used the olympiks before and they are a good saw. A word of warning....dont run them dry on fuel or you could burn it up. The ones ive used had the tendency to rev higher right before they run dry.

Ill give ya $200+shipping.

Thanks for the warning! My 260 will also rev higher just before running out of fuel. I think that's because the saw is 'leaning' out as the fuel runs out.
Thanks for the offer, but she's a keeper :) .

I think all saws do that - hit the kill swich ASAP when you hear it.

This is one of the things that make transparent fuel tanks worthwhile - refuel before there is a chance that it emties during the next cut.

I fully agree.
