026 carb ?

[Mad Professor]

Been looking at fixing an early 026 I got as part of a deal with a 056M.

Main issue is scored P/C, I have NOS OEM 44mm Stihl P/C, gasket/seal set ordered.............need to vac/pres test. Have rubber/hose/filter spares for my other 026

? is the saw has the carb without Hi screw. I know the WT-194 is the answer, but I have a 024S parts saw that has Hi/Lo I think a WT-110.

How are these compared to WT-194? Saw is kind of dirty and I've not pulled the old carb to see venturi size and/or jets.

I put the wt194 on my 260. best thing I ever did to that saw. not terribly expensive either.

The WT-194 is probably your best choice. If it was a newer version I would convert to the bigger air filter but your tank probably has the tall tank vent assembly and the bigger filter won't fit.

Did you switch the cover and keep the compensator?

Yes older style tank. I need to pull the carb on the 024S parts saw to get a number to see what that carb is. Both saws are at my other place right now.

I came across a good reference at another website forum for WT carbs

on my 026 pro, put the stock compensator on a new wt194. it came stock with a wt403 w/no H screw. the 024 IPL on my computer lists the WT110 and the WT426 intellicarb.

I found they also used WT-22 on the 024. That has smaller venturi 12.7 mm than WT-194 13.5mm. I have not found the info for the WT-110 or WT-426. The 403 also has the larger venturi, but as you said no Hi screw

I just checked ebay. There is a listing for genuine WT-194 $60 shipped. Carb kit is going to cost me at least $10............

Your best bet.

Yea, there was some bit about switching covers to match the air filter, other than that, a direct swap, and the saw runs much nicer with things adjusted correctly.
The desired "260 screamer". these things like to wind up pretty good.
