My Stihl MS260 Pro was purchased new around 2006. To get the saw to start the throttle must be fully depressed when cranking. After the saw starts and warms up it runs great at full throttle but once I let off the throttle it idles for a few seconds and dies. I have run two cans of Stihl's moto pre mixed fuel and it seems to have helped it some but still dies upon idleing when the engine warms up. Adjusting the carb has not helped. I don't have much experience adjusting carbs but I turned both the high and low to stop and backed them out one turn and adjusted the LE to no avail.
I removed the carb which is a Walbro WTE 623 and I have searched the internet including the Walbro site and cannot find any info on this carburetor.
I would either try rebuilding the carb or purchase a new one but since the internet search has not found this model number I do not know what to purchase.
I see that the WT-194 is a popular carb for this saw. Would it be a possible replacement? Also, I see carbs for about $20 or the brand Walbro for about $60. Any thoughts on the cheap carbs, are they junk or not?
Thanks for any input on my situation.
