Hi guys... My 260 pro stopped working... It just cut of at full throttle and I sent it for a diagnostic and this is what I received:
The tech did the STIHL check list and discovered bad scoring on the exhaust side of the piston which indicates the wrong fuel mixture was used. When he looked at the fuel that was in the saw it did not look like it had any mixture in it. There also was scoring on the intake side of the piston which indicates debris was sucked into it.
So we do not recommend to repair the unit since the cost would exceed the value. The amount for the diagnostic was $38.50.
Please let me know if you want us to go any further on the unit, and if not do you want the saw put back together since we have to take it apart to do the testing. It probably be another $15 - $20 to put back together
Can anyone advise... Sounds like they are telling me the saw is ruined. please help.
