Or swap it with the dayton and see if the issues follow each carb.

That is the next step

I hear you. Never heard a bad thing about Meteor anyways. Looking forward to hearing it roar after your done.

How's that 024 you're working on?

Its rough. farmers dont see saws as anything other than tools. Its getting crank seals and a going through

Have you used meteor before--had good luck with them. I have a husky 268 but p/c look good . Just need to get oem bearings and piston ring. I have not overhauled any saws yet.

 

[Boomer 87]

Ive never used one, but ive heard nothing but good about them, Italian made so quality should be good and only 40 bucks for the piston kit.

Just curious but what do you do for a living?

My MCCULLOCH 10-10---Any one have problems with stock type fuel line kinking and cutting fuel to carb. Bought saw for $35.00 . Got home and put in new fuel--It started right up and ran great. Cut some wood--6 weeks later fuel in air box. Carb/fuel line leak--Old so I install kit and line--Can run good but acts like it starves for fuel.. hard to start--Looks like line kinks between carb and tank no matter how I twist it--Thought about cutting line and putting small straight metal tube at kink and see if that helps--Thoughts or ideas??????

Thats my one rant about stihl is parts, the sum of its parts should not cost more than the complete saw. Case And point a ms 250 is 300 dollar saw , it should not cost more than 300 to buy all the parts and put it together. But if you do that it would cost over 1200 bucks, ridiculous

Just curious but what do you do for a living?

Heavy equipment mechanic---Cat dealership 20+ years..worked in shop,later in transmission/engine section and later fuel injection pump room(My favorite place) Now at a road construction place--Oxford construction--they clear land,build and pave roads,curb and gutter,drain/sewer line install,grassing--every thing but paint the center line down the middle of the road. Any body need help/info/trouble shooting cat or heavy equipment in general--Ask-I might know about it. I like any old diesel with mechanical injection pump. David

I would love to sell it to you for $35.00 But my special shipper(a guy named Leroy on a bicycle) would cost$200.00 to get it to you. I would not want to do a friend that way

Because they can (which I do not find right). $17 for a single air filter? Don't tell me that they don't make any money in parts sales. Heard someone on another thread say that an ms880 crank alone cost over $300. Their pricing is way out of wack.
