    Thanks for the education! I like learning more about the saws that were popular (and not so popular....) before I was old enough to tear things apart..... Too bad I can't afford more tuition right now!

    It's really a 261 with a little less snap......the 254 is on a noticeably smaller platform, but still in the same "family".

    I wouldn't give up on it. We are getting more and more members every day.

    Some body will want a nice 50 cc class saw for cheap.

    I won't close the thread. We will leave it open, for those that may not check the Classifieds often.

    It's just a matter of the right buyer at the right time Fuzz. Give it a rest for a few weeks and try again. :)

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the 'family' shares the same crankcase but the 254 is the odd stepchild with a different fuel tank, crankshaft, cylinder, carb, filter, covers etc.

    That sounds right and would explain why the 262 p/c will fit but the saw has a "smaller" feel. Thanks for pointing that out Mike

    This is a real good deal on this saw, and I'm not just saying that. I think it would sell on another site within a day, it just hasn't found a new home yet on here, but it will. Heck, I would be proud as a peacock to have this saw for what you are asking, I just don't have the room right now. Very good deal from a good guy, no doubt about it.

    No doubt. Somewhere else, this wouldn't have made it to the 24 her point.

    130 is fine. Considering these probably had 150 to 160 when new. Ive ran saws for years on 90 psi. Its all what makes a fella get some sleep at night i guess :) Since its going to stay mine now i guess......i should be able to easily get about 10 to 15 years out of it now !
