ms260 and strange walbro carb wte 450 ?

[flint666]

So im pulling apart my project ms260 cleaning out the crap that's around everything and i get to the carb , having dug it out i check the numbers on the side so i can orger up a rebuild kit for it , and the carb is stamped WTE 450 , having checked the parts book i cant find that carb listed on a 260 anywhere ,

Am i going mad or has somebody swapped it out prior to me digging into it ?

More importantly if i just rebuild it is there any reason the saw wont run fine with this carb on it ? I don't want to destroy the piston

Can anybody offer any advice or am i best trying to track down a good used replacment for it

cheers

Get out your magnifying glasses. It is probably a WTE-1 through 6. The "450" is probably a date code.

The kit is likely a Walbro K10-WTE

trying to find them in the uk for sensible money is almost impossible but thanks for the heads up will have a look and see what postage comes out at

Nothing wrong with the WTE carburetors if not corroded. Try a kit. If replacing, use a WTE.

its more that they dont list a WTE 450 as being a carb for this saw , and i cant find a rebuild kit listed for a 450

Read post #2!... and/or post a photo of the model stamped into the carb body.

The 450 would use a K10 -WAT rebuild kit and if the whole kit is not needed then the gasket and diaphragm kit D10 WAT is all that is usually needed

that makes more scene now there is a 5 stamped about a 5mm below the wte bit so i would guess its a wte 5 , really appreciate your help with this now i can start looking for a kit and get it rebuilt ( and yes i totally misread your earlier post sorry)

Jackpot! Also check the white fuel inlet barb. They are known to crack and suck air. It should not rotate.
