A few weeks back I was given a Stihl 026. It arrived in a five gallon bucket due to being in several pieces.
Was told it had been in this bucket for several years. Good bucket BTW.
It will " Start " if a dab of fuel is dropped into the spark plug hole so it has spark and some amount of compression.
But it will not pick up fuel from the tank and run.
Looking in from the plug hole and the exhaust port the piston and cylinder appear to be good.

The Carb is a WT493 with no High Side adjustment..... Looking to replace it with a carb that would work well with a Muffler Mod.

Suggestions for a Carb Replacement???

Thanks
DFK
