Seems most people do a muffler mod and timing advance with the little bigger 025 carb just. I had one not sure if it would run with a 025/250 but maybe. Guess if pulling down completely you could work the intake and exhaust port some.

High temp or regular? Two kinds depending how hot muffler gets red may get soft and let bolts loosen up. For normal non heat areas I like high strength orange, it’s removable without heat but is 3 times stronger than blue supposedly.

Ms 210,230,250 fully adjustable carb is what you want to upgrade the 170/180. 171 is a stratto saw and carb is different. Far as rebuilding the stock carb they rebuild like any of the other ones are no harder or easier. The zama ones will be a c1q body if I remember and internally the same as...

I’d take that reliability bet on a 260 vs 346 they’re both rock solid and yes a 346 kicks an 026/260’s but. I’d expect that though since the 026 came out first. Each new saw in that size should beat the previous saws in the class.

Me too, did them at my uncle’s garage right on site l. Problem was they had rust in the venting and even if they met minimum thickness spec the would re warp really easily if they were hot and then hit water ect. For this reason he quit doing them alone with being liable if something happened.

If i didn’t bring the ts-08 concrete saw adapter when i bought you the old 08 i need to bring with next time i come down

Not really worth the time anymore to rebuild my opinion just because usually have a scored bore ext just get new ones and replace and i always put pads and rotors on each time.

That’s fine unfortunately not many are willing to spend the money and or can afford to. Right now unless everyone switch to USA made manufacturing isn’t coming back and even if it did we don’t have enough young people that want to that kind of work no matter what you pay them. 90% of people...

They definitely aren’t light

Only problem is planing a 40-50” wide surface with a router and homemade sled is not a fast or easy task neither is sanding. The last real wide ones I cut I made super thick and after they dried I set them across horses and made a jig to run mill on to recut them flat

261 is definitely easier on hands also.

I’ve used both in .404 and 3/8”.

The smooth finish comes from the shallow angle. I’ve seen rip chains set up 0-15 degrees it’s all what you want, 5-10 degrees is slower in cut but smoother and on wide slabs the slower smooth cut will still save time over planing or sanding a 40” wide slab smooth. So will always depend on what...

This is very true and the first fix was a new flywheel and coil with a retune. New ones have factory pop up pistons weather that’s good or not depends who you ask about it.

A 261 is substantially smoother and stock for stock pretty far above an 026. I still have a 026 red lever from 1991 my dad bought for me new but it’s the only one I’ll keep. They’re good running and durable but so is the 261 and if I’m using a 50cc Stihl any amount it will be the 261.
