I have a Stihl MS260 with a scored cylinder.
it was fine a month and a half ago , when I had a new Walbro carb put on at my local saw shop . I figure it sat with gas in it all summer and that gummed up the original carb I didn't run that saw much last spring.
I had some issues with a fuel line pinching about 2-3 weeks after the new carb , it worked right after the new carb , fule line , impulse line and fuel filter fine but the new fuel line was long and being bent over a few weeks it pinched. resolved that issue by cutting it shorter.so it wasn't bent as much , it was running better but not right I took it back today he adjusted the carb and ran if for a bit , then it died , he pulled the plug and said it was scored.
I rebuilt it 2 years ago with a NWP kit but I just don't have the time right now between work and family obligations and getting next years wood cut I need to spend my time off work cutting and I would like to get what I can reasonably out of this saw to get a bigger saw that is ready to cut. I have another 55cc saw to get me by for now.
a break down of what I think things are worth
I have the saw.
2 - 20 inch bars in used but good shape .325 .063 ,25 dollars each
2 chains in with a lot of life left .325 .063 81 dl , 5 dollars each
1 almost use up chain free
the original Stihl cylinder and piston free
I would like to do this as a packaged deal 110. dollars obo + actual shipping cost or local pickup I could meet you in southern WI.
to give you an idea since I bought this saw new in spring of 2007 I think I have only owned 6 maybe 7 chains for this saw one met a very early end when I found a nail mid oak tree , I used up 2 maybe 3 others I hand file and there are the 3 I have in the picture one mostly used up. figure the saw is basically 3 maybe 4 chains old it seems rubber lines have been it's down fall now twice.
