I had a ms250 that got ripped in half given to me. I plan on doing a muffler mod and replacing the carb with a wt215. I really don't know if it's worth grinding on it?? Any thoughts....??

You might be surprised what it will do with that carb and a little grinding and MM I have a couple of them and soon to be three of them every since this one guy said they were no good :)

Weird that you can rip one of these in half?

Good little saw in my opinion. But get rid of that easy chain adjuster it sucks a$$!!!!
And the easy start.

I have some parts still. A regular recoil and maybe a 215.

I welded a dome to a piston on one, ran damn good.

Highest rpm I've ever seen on a saw. 20,500 unloaded when I leaned it too much.

Not at bad little saw with the right mods. A muff mod and time advance is all u need. Light too.

Out here if you are in the market for one, the good news is they are cheap. So cheap in fact, that if you want to get one to repair and flip, you can't make anything on it. I have two as parts saws. I would normally fix one to flip and save one for parts, but it is not worth my time.

I had a local come by with one yesterday and she couldn't get it to start. I moved the coil in a bit to the flywheel and improved the spark. It started right up, but I didn't like the way it revved and it felt way fat on top end. I leaned out the High needle a bit and improved the top end, but the carb just didn't seem suited to the engine, seemed like it needed more flow in the low speed circuit.

What is the advantage of the WT-215?

I know it's a factory H adjustable carb for the 025/250. Other adjustables may have existed. Many came with fixed H jet carbs.

It's like the 029/039 of small saws. Pretty darn good, but get a bad rap.

I was just looking at the carbs on Ebay and it looks like there are two carbs for the series. The WT 215 and the WT 286. The pictures showed adjustable H and L. Bugger if I could see any other outside differences.

This lady has a primer bulb on the saw and it said in one add on Ebay that the 215 was for a non-primer carb, but I couldn't see any difference with the 286. Usually a primer carb has an extra inlet for the primer.

The prices are reasonable, about A$15 for either carb. Anybody know what the differences are between the 215 and 286?
