I have a solid stihl 026 that has been ported and modified with oversized walbro hd carb. Also has the bigger 038 intake boot. The saw retains factory choke and filter mechanism. Has new adjustable pro oiler. 16" sp bar. Comes with two loops of 3/8" chisel chain, one square ground and the other hand filed round. I did all the work myself and documented everything in this thread http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/stihl-026-project.198861/. The saw has been ran with 93 octane fuel mixed 50:1 with amsoil. If I had to guess I would say the saw has maybe 10-15 ran through it since the build. I have the saw tuned to 15,000 rpm, and is probably too rich, but still cleans up in the cut nicely. Saw will probably need minor adjustments if you live at a different altitude or run a different fuel oil mix. I recommend the use of a tack and a good ear. I would like to trade for an unmolested Husqvarna 272xp. May consider other offers, saws or money.
