What saw to buy?

Problem with 254s (and the reason they are probably crashing in price on the bay) is replacement pistons. Can't get decent after market and the husky ones are crazy money.

 

Left field suggestion if you love a 254xp is an Efco 156/oleo Mac 956. Superb build and very similar saw (56cc). I love mine. cheekily similar to the 254 and 262 in design.

Never done much to a 254XP, I have had a couple, revs a bit like a 346XP but has more low down torque - damn good saws IMO.

 

Be an interesting project to see what I can get out of one:thumbup:

 

This saw must have made Husqvarna a fortune and deservedly so!

Now theres an offer, I have always thought the exhaust port looked a bit small but not done the piston measurements to see what can be done but there should be a fair bit to get it going even harder.

 

Think Jons suggestion of a MS660 on a 16" bar is only suitable for Russian power lifters with wood cutting tendencies:001_rolleyes:
