MS260 Dual Port Part #???

[chainsawaddict]

The ms260 parts guide lists three part #s for "exhaust casing." A friend of mine wants to get a dual port cover for his 260, but his dealer tells him there isnt one. Which one of the part #s is for the 260 dual port. My dealer found the three part numbers, but didnt know which one it was. I did a site search and came up empty. Any info would be great.

I haven't seen any such animal, but 026 muffler is easy to add extra ports to, could be done with nothing more than a hand drill and 5/16 inch bit.

How many 5/16 holes? Im thinking 2 on the opposite side of the existing hole??

I have seen two 5/16 holes added one above and one below, this is certanly fine for a stock saw and very mild, it can be opened up more than that if you wish, even for stock. Don't forget to clean any metal burs out and reset the carb settings so you don't end up too lean.

The Patent's only apply if your going to sell it and make money... we'll talk then.




Your gonna like it, just remember to retune the carb a little richer.

I added the two 5/16" holes on my 260, above and below the existing hole. The new holes and a carb adjust made a major difference/improvement in how the saw ran. Andy said to start with the two holes and go from there. It worked very well.
