I bought a Stihl MS261 from the prior owner who swapped the carb with a Chinese one. He said it was idling rough. He didn't want to clean it and could get a Chinese carb for just a little more then a carb repair kit.
The unit starts with the choke on. When removing the choke it goes to high revs. My limited experience tells me it is an air leak. I want to pull the Chinese carb and put back on the cleaned original. If I don't find anything obviously wrong, I will do a pressure/vac test. I will need the carb off for that also.
I need to remove the (1141 121 6900) Baffle. IPL indicates the nut is (9216 261 0700) Hexagon nut M5.
I have tried a 5, 5.5, 6. 7 and before I start reducing the outside diameter of the 8 mm in my new socket set, I was hoping to get confirmation that the socket I need to use is 8 mm.
Does anyone know for sure?
