260 Work

[Bigbob]

Anybody know the carb model(s) numbers with the HIGH adjustment for the 260 mods?

Also is it necessary to remove the clutch and flywheel to do a thorough cleaning? If not, what do you recommend? My 260 is caked with oil and sawdust.

Finally what is the lowest acceptable PSI compression for the 260?

Thanks

Besides the WT-194, there's these:

(from my MS260 IPL)
1121 120 0650 = WT-426
1121 120 0612 = WT-426

I swapped my stock WT-403A (non-adj.) for the WT-194 after I did the muffler mod.

I paid $38.00 for my WT-194 at a small engine shop that I buy carb kits from. They give me a little discount, and I believe they list for around $40.00.

I got mine from an AS member, but I don't think he's selling them anymore. Try some of the AS sponsors such as Curt's Parts.

I just bought 3 WT-194s off them on Ebay. I sell two of them for $20 each plus $6.95 for shipping. The auction says "new" but since I haven't seen them you must buy them as is.

Clutch, yes. Chain side is dirty and the oil pump gets all goobered up pretty good. and take the brake band cover off and clean it all out under there too. If you'r ein there to do a cleaning, might as well get it all... There's not much behind the flywheel and that side is "dry" so it doesn't get as dirty.

Lowest acceptable compression is probably around 120 or so.

At 120 it will be hard to start and run like a dog. 140 is time for rings or piston/rings. 150-155 is mid-life.

Thanks for the real numbers. All my saws are 160-180 and I was just guessing.

P.S. I'd rep ya if I could...
