I just picked up a running ms260 tonight. It is in good shape and will be my first venture into saw modding. I picked it up for $160 with a NIB Stihl bar and RSC chain so I figure it is a cheap venture.
The carb only has one adjustment screw and it doesn't seem to have a choke. This does not seem like it will work well for modding. I do have an 034 carb kicking around that fits the studs on the 260. It has full adjustment and a choke. Will it work? Is it worth swapping?
I plan to muffler mod, set squish to 0.17ish, work saw type port and clean up the piston some. If I can figure out what Brad was saying about tapering the transfers... that too.
Thanks,
Jeremy
