024AV(S) or 026 PRO? (Answered)

[Saw_Squatch]

Hey I just got my hands on this dirty girl thinking she would be a good project/parts saw only to notice that even without the muffler it had great compression and was squeaky clean inside the problem is the owner I got it from didn't know if it was an 024 or an 026. I took a chance because the price was right either way and that decomp/adjustable oiler combo looked promising but honestly I can't tell either. Can anyone help me out?

More pics upon request

i dont think they made a 024 with a decomp
you can measure the bore the 024 is 42 mm and the 026 will have a 44 or 44.7 mm bore

I didn't think so either but I didn't know if it could have been an 024 avs (super) I really don't know.

I have never seen a plastic handlebar on an 024 from the factory I would say 026 pro

Looks like the air filter and air filter cover are off of a 026 pro. Looks like the correct carb for the airfilter.

How about a few pictures of the cylinder without the cover on!

I'll be tearing into it and getting into it tomorrow I'll post pics as I get working on it

If it's all original that is an 026 filter cover. The 024's were smaller and had a screw release knob Me thinks like the picture added.

I'd say it's a 026.
That Fuel line looks naff stuff

026 Pro

Certainly looks nothing like an 024, in any way/shape/form.

Never saw an 024 with a plastic badge, a decomp, a composite handle, a compensated carb, etc.

I now think it is a MS 260

At this point I'm fairly certain this is a 026 Pro but here's that topless pic

Flat top top cover and air filter cover, screw caps not flippy. My guess is mid 90's 026 Pro.

I vote for the o26 PRO. That's why I have two of them:
Truly a classic saw, it will run dead even with my Husqvarna 350. I never know which one to pick up and take to the field.

 

[Saw_Squatch]

Well folk I did some scrubbing on the top cover with simple green and some 00 steel wool and this is what I got. I think that ought to settle it.

If it has the decomp valve and it works, then there is a good chance it's a PRO.

I have an 024 jug. No decomp.

Yeah it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Other than not having a muffler on it, looks to me like it's a bone stock 026 pro.

 

[Saw_Squatch]

Well guys here it is one last time as it came
And here it is all cleaned up and put back togetherThinking about just spraying some high temp clear coat on the bar and maybe throwing on some Chinese plastics (covers and hoses) on it after I get the muffler on and modded up. Unless anyone knows somebody with some decent original covers they could be convinced to part ways with?

I'd fill it with oil and mix and go hack and slash on wood as it sits. Doesnt need to be pretty to make woodchips.
