I'm too stupid to have an autotune saw but I know exactly how a screwdriver works.

Good choice! 260 has Ducati inside.

Betcha @brk18 has a stratt he'd sell you.

Kids today and their fancy stratocastrols.

Only thing better than free shipping is no shipping.

When shopping for parts, don't forget @brk18 .

HL, Dukes, Traverse Creek, SawAgain............. sells them.

Dolkita may have a good one too.

Doing pretend winter. 50 degrees, roaring fire, cat in my lap and game on. GO COLTS!

4910 is probably what I'd get if I wanted a later model saw. 346XP if time and money wasn't an issue.

I'm tempted to build another 026. With the extra parts I've got, could do it under $200 I think.

I chose an 026. You can find them complete and in good shape for less than $350. Fixer uppers under $150. That era of Stihl is easy to work on. Parts are relatively cheap and abundant. Minor, quick and easy upgrades can get them running comparable to modern stock 50cc saws. Basic porting...

@brk18 might have it :D

Are the Walbro and Zamas on new Stihls and Huskies having the same failure rate as aftermarket Amazon carbs?

I've given up on aftermarket carbs and doing them myself if it isn't obvious what the problem is. New or professionally rebuilt oem from now on.
