Oops forgot abot the 254xp and the 266xp , too many saws !!

 

266xp any good? As I might get one, just needs an air filter apparently

I've had mine for years , great tough old saw , easy to get parts still too .

Not that fast by todays standards , but I still like to air it from time to time .

Yeah, they're great. Just need a bit of respect when starting, if you're used to new saws with a decompressor they've got a real kick.

Bah! Decompression buttons are stupid, if ya can't pull it over normally, you shouldn't be using it! The 385 is a beast to pull over! I don't use the button on that, so a 266 should be light work

I have: ms 180 for swinging about all day while not getting tired.Definately punches above its weight, 026, had this a few years.2005 model, but with a piped exhaust to open it up a bit.046.Definately my fav saw.A couple of bars for it, an 18" and a 25".064, bit of a marmite saw which i put a foot on and have two hands on the pullstart, but rips.Having new mains squeezed in at the moment.200t,great saw, and a little makita dcs230t.Love this.Very light and a joy to have hanging from my harness.Picked it up as a non runner for thirty quid.All it needed was a new carb rubber.Best value of the lot.Stihl pole saw.Well handy.

I`m open minded about brands and will shortly have a husky coming as part of a job lot of mowers from an old boy with a large acreage and wants rid.No markings and the chainbrake is the old wire type.Hardy used and with good compression, i`m thinking it looks like a 60cc saw, which will fit in just nicely.I just dont know much about older huskys.
