026 Carb replacement

[jasper89]

Good morning. My 026 currently has a Walbro WTE 028 carb on it and needs to be replaced. What carbs would be good economical options? I would prefer a fully adjustable carb. Let me know what you think!
Saw has a mm not ported.
Thank you. Frank

From what I’ve read and heard most prefer the wt-194 which is what mine has on it. But someone else may say otherwise so I’d get some more opinions before making a decision

 

[jasper89]

It seems the 194 can get pretty costly. I would have more in the carb than the rest of the saw!

A 194 is $41 delivered on eBay.

The China replacements are cheap, like $10-15 and available at many places inc. @Definitive Dave

The WT194's I've used have been very reliable -- and I've used scores of them. To be fair also, I've used a dozen or so of the ones Dave sells and none have failed so far.
If I had to narrow the choice down to one -- it would be the WT194. I've purchased from Captain Never Sail on Ebay -- never a problem.

I just bought one of he $41 Ebay Walbro 194-1 carbs for my 026 last night. I called a local distributor this morning (out of curiosity) and was priced $119 for the same carb. Big damn difference between $119 and $41. Not sure the reason.

WOW...that is a mystery. Thanks for posting that pricing information.

 

[jasper89]

Thanks for the information. I was going off the local prices for the 194 and it was about $120. Maybe I should get one of each and see what works best!
Again thanks for your input. Very helpful.

I have one from Dave. I put it on a stock 026 just to try it out. Works great. Excellent carb for the money.

Really! A new carb for the price of a kit. Some carbs are going to be trashed from ethanol phase seperation, so a kit is often futile anyway...

I put one of Dave's carbs on a friends 026 over a year ago, still running fine.

Will this carb fit on a ms250?

I believe you need a Walbro WT215 for your saw. The Chinese did make a clone for it as well. I used several and they worked well.
Perhaps someone else can chime in.

I use a little duct tape and put them right on top of the air filter cover, they run great that way!!!








or not

DUCT tape, meh you gotta learn to use the right stuff Dave. I know you're well respected and all. Everybody knows the red loc tite is what you have to use on that fix

 

[jasper89]

Do you think Gorilla tape would work? Promotes better side balance.
Ordered a 194 as well as the one from Dave.
