I have a few questions on my MS260. I bought it in ‘04 and it’s not the pro version.
It came with a 18” .325 bar that I have since converted to a 16” 3/8 bar and sprocket.
I’ve mainly used it as a camping wood saw and now I have a wood stove in my shop so I’ll be cutting a little more wood. In addition to another saw, looking at a MS362, I’d like to do a minor muffler mod to my 260.
I ran thru the battery on my iPad last night searching and reading about it, but have a couple questions and things to clarify.
I have the WT-403b carb that doesn’t have a H screw. It has what appears to be 54 stamped in the Venturi, is that the jet size?
I’ve looked at swapping carbs, but I do like how little I have to adjust this once since I cut from 3-8K feet.
I read about several people running small MM’s with the WT-403 with good results. Obviously it’s not up to the full potential of a larger MM and a fully adjustable carb. Since I only use the saw at elevation, which should richen it up, am I okay to do a small MM, such as a single 1/4” extra port?
If I do swap carbs I’m leaning towards a WT-426 to keep the Intellicarb feature.
I was sold the wrong air filter a while ago that was for a non-intellicarb 260. If I swap to a WT-194 would that air filter keep me from needing to move the snorkel or plug the current filter?
Thanks!
