Olympic 261 help!

[0omikeo0]

Hey im new with this forum and am looking for some help....This is my grandpas saw from as far as i know 30 years ago...its a vibrant orange, its made in Italy, has almost all parts and I have it running great ( haven't tried cutting yet)...My questions... All i can find around here is "OLYMPYK" chainsaws but almost no "OLYMPIC" chainsaws....i know it has a 61cc engine and its built quite well so i was wondering if i could just get some info and maybe were to get parts....
Thanks!!,
Mike

I think this is the main Emack office here. I managed to get some parts for an old 355 and a 951. It took awhile, but the parts are still around. You might give Ebay a try for a parts saw.

Heck yeah it is worth it to fix it up and get it running again! Doesn't look like it needs much, and besides, it is your Grandpa's saw. Olympyk, Olympic, Oleo-Mac, Efco are all the same, now owned by Emak. They are built like tanks and will last!

This might help you in your hunt for parts. http://www2.emak.it/database/emak/emak.nsf/pagina?Readform&sezione=prod&lng=eng

Ok awesome...

Has a 1976 Winsor 20" bar on it....so i stuck a new chain on it and its running well but I'm thinking of trying to get a reasonable Oregon bar on it and just mess around with it....it has a 61cc engine and weighs almost 18 pounds... I hope this manual helps people...post a comment if you would like me to send you the full manual...
