Looked real strong and I thought it ran better than the 044 carb. Probably safer and better for saw longevity as well.

 

[drf256]

Held less rpm in the cut with the 194 carb. Much better manners. Surprising.

 

[RI Chevy]

WT194 better suited for a saw that size. ???
Maybe there is a limit to how much is too much?

 

[huskihl]

Still has the 044 boot?

 

[drf256]

Nice thing is that in 15 min, saw can cut fire wood and then be in cants. That was my goal. 44 carb will be played with this week. Vid next weekend.

Cool. Convertible saw. Different kind of Hybrid. [emoji106]

If I cut firewood with that sumbish, I'll have to hire the boy scouts to come pick it up. Ported saws suck that way. lol

If you're planning to run the WT with a stock filter, the 044 carb studs will be too long iirc.

I was thinking this saw had the 026 pro/ms260 larger air filter when I posted that. The newer filters have recessed nuts which bottom out on the longer carb studs before the filter tightens up the whole way if you try to go back to the stock carb. I forgot the older small 026 filters had the nuts sticking out the back like that.

Yup.

Chain is roundfile.

Saw is gonna need a lot of carb work. If tuned to 14, it’s ok. Anything above that and it starts to pull air like nuts and lean out. I may drill the jet to flow more fuel. I’ll see.

I’m going to try to put another models larger diameter fuel line and filter in.

It’s far from done.

I heard it when you were testing it on the video. Great build thread though. These types brought me to AS many years ago.
I love the detail, keep it coming.

My favorite carb for the 1121 series!

I thought it was quite a bit more stable with the 194.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Well stability isn't my strong suit either so...

 

[Redfin]

Good thing you have Auto Pilot.

Good thing you have Auto Pilot.

I knew that would get a rise out of you! lol Yea, good thing...

Meh, keep yer feet planted, you'll be OK

 

[huskihl]

Yup.

Out of curiosity, have you compared the times and performance using the wt194 with the 026 boot vs the wt194 with the 044 boot? I can't remember if it's doable or not after matching to the 044 boot

I have not.

The port shapes now makes it tough to compare. The outer intake port no longer matches the stock 1121 boot and the 044 really needs to be added, with some dirko around it, with the tank off.
