Hi guys and gals. I think I am in the correct place? When I tell people that I enjoy using chainsaws I get looked at like:dizzy: But here...well, I think you understand and would:clap: It seems that we share the same affliction/addiction.

Question: Have a MS260. Late fall I took out the non adjustable carb. and replaced it with a adjustable Walbro. Since the change it only has about an hour run time on it. It did run very well. Today, (temp 10F), I started it up, but it would not idle. It would accell. ok, and idle for 10-15 seconds then die. I could keep it running with the trigger. The idle adjustment has no effect on what is happening. I have even closed and opened all way and no diff. I did mess with the L screw just very little & didn't touch the H screw, as it was running great.

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks
