There were a few posts over the winter with this issue. Since then I have used mine a bit and now it idles ok. I am thinking it may have been carb icing or fuel puddling due to cold crankcase and boot. It was below freezing most times the problem occured. I didn't have any problems with the other saws includding a 026 ( which I swapped carbs with to no avail ) same fuel ect. The 026 ran fine with the 260's carb but 260 still ran the same with the 026 carb. I didn't try to use the winter shutter because I never had to with the the othe saws. I am more convinced the ms 260 cylinder, 44.7mm, porting or case has some bearing on this issue. What do you think?
