Picked up a MS260 back in June. It's in great condition and only needed a light tuneup and cleaning. View attachment 592028

If you think it's the tank vent it should be easy to check, just remove the one that's on it and put a piece of tubing in it's place..After fixing and tuning a friend's poulan 2150 and a few tillers word got around at work that I am mechanically inclined. So now I have this farm boss sitting on my bench a local shop couldn't find anything wrong with. Runs good until it's hot then dies and and won't start. I'm thinking tank vent and or vapor lock. Gonna have to clean it up and run it to find out.

Sometimes that crud from the muffler gets sucked back into the engine creating what you have..So pulled the muffler off to try and clean some oil and crap out off it and this is the Piston it's about 4-5 years old and from the word of my friend only ran factory Stihl oil in it

390 kits right now are cheaper than 290 kits from about a year ago..maybe not at Bailey's though.Ya gotta give my buddy some options and see what he wants but am gonna lean towards just getting him running and let him blow the motor then do a 390 kit from Bailey's
