New to me 026

[sloch24]

I know how ya'all like pics and vids, so....

New to me 026. I bought it last week. It wouldn't run unless I choked it with my thumb.

I spent a couple of hours this morning cleaning it up, cleaned the carb, and here's the result. Turned out to be a nice little saw.

Pardon the grainy vid.. I just used my digital camera.

I left it a little rich... I didn't have my tach out, and didn't want to over-rev it.

Great looking 026. I used mine this morning to cut up a few branches that snapped of in the ice storm last week.

Not trying to criticize but it looks as if your plastic cover for the cylinder is not aligned correctly. I can see that the plastic dowel on the carb end is not correctly seated in its hole.

Again great looking saw!!

Great little saw.

+1 on the top cover. They can be kind of tricky to get lined up just right.

Yeah.. I didn't notice it until I was looking at the pics... Easy fix..

My fingers were cold.. yeah.. That's my excuse.. hehe

 

[sloch24]

There... Is that better?!

Good looking saw. I've an eye out for a smaller fixer saw for some time, but had no luck in finding one for a decent price. One day.

 

[Stihl here]

Nice saw!!!

Sounds like she runs good!!! Take that green saftey chain off and get a more agressive chain on there and she will cut nice too!!!

 

[sloch24]

I actually bought this one to sell.. so the safety chain stays..

You're right though.. I hate that chain... I bought some Woodland Pro Full Chisel chain for my MS260... What a difference that made!


I had a 026 and a ms260 once before and decided I didn't need both... Well, I'm in the same situation now..

I actually already have a buyer for this one.

 

[Hddnis]

Perfect!

Don't feel like your the only one to mess up when your fingers were cold. I've gotten cold fingers too.

Yep, One look at this saw is all I needed. Won't be no safety chain on this one when it starts cuttin in Al. but I know the reason for the safety chain, some folks need it if they don't have enough experience.

I'm working on a trade for another one so I might end up with a matched pair. Look at that. Real screw in caps.

Sounds like the tuning is dead on to me. You didn't cut any wood with it but it sounds high enough that it'll stop 4-strokin' as soon as it's under load.

[porsche965]

Very nice saw. Congrats.

 

[logging22]

Is it for sale?

 

[sloch24]

Yeah.. it's close... I actually did cut a little with it before I took the video. I think it's close enough...

Jtheo has dibbs on it..

I wish I had 4 more to sell... I've gotten a lot of offers.. hehe

J, I'll send you an email tomorrow early afternoon or late morning... Something came up for the morning, and I don't know what time I'll be home.

Thats fine,whenever you have time will be good with me.

This saw has now got a new home in Alabama. Started first pull.

As long as I am able to run a saw, this 026 will stay right here.

Two saws I don't want to ever be without. 026 and a 211, and you are hearing this from a Dolmar guy.:biggrinbounce2:

 

[teacherman]

I love a story with a happy ending........:biggrinbounce2:
