Well thanks, it is good to be back again. Us polished aluminum "STIHL" mechanics have
tender feelings, and are liable to leave forever, at an instant.
Now a "Husqvarna" tech has no feelings to hurt, because they know that they
just work on orange Poulans, and are resigned to it. In the factory, as they come off the line, they set the carbs first, then paint them. The saws that are set at 12,500,
they paint green, 13,000-yellow, 13,500- orange, and 14,500- red.
By the way, why does no one claim to be a Husky tech?

Stihltech,
I have a question for you i just purchased a used 260 pro I didn't realize that it had the newer style carburetor on it with only 2 adjustments unstead of 3 I am having probablems with it. Just curious if it is worth rebuilding that carburetor or should i purchase a new carb that had all 3 adjustments and if i purchase a new if you new the carb numbers that will work on that saw or a place i can go and get parts numbers
Thanks

I`ll take the liberty of telling you to check the metering lever height, it`s crucial on fixed hi speed jet carbs like what some 260s have. This simple adjustment may correct your problems.
Walbro WT426(Stihl proprietary) is the most common 3 screw carb for the 260. The WT 194 will also work. The 426 is about $70 from a dealer. I know a few places where you can get the carb cheaper.

Jokers, you are beginning to sound like me. Be careful!
He has it right, but I also wonder if it it just a carb problem. Check fuel and pule hoses. Crank seal under flywheel. Don't forget the intake boot. A pressure test will tell you this and confirm the lower end is air tight. It is my insurance policy when doing any major saw repair.
