The saw I'm working on was using an 038 boot. I found the boot to be too long and to have a square bottom at the port entry point which would interfere with flow. That flat portion would site again the flat wall of an 038 port. The stud rotation of the 026 made it just not fit right.

An 044 boot with some sealant at the jug lip seems to work just fine.

The carb and air filter do still fit.

I can see narrowing the carb body on a lathe for sure. Not sure how close I could get though.
An 036 boot fits pretty well, minus the impulse portion, which is easily remedied. I tried an 039 carb and would have to carve out the top of the carb box. An 044 carb fits without carving?

Ms260 with 044 carb installedimage.jpegonly thing you have to do to the air box is make a couple modifications to access all the adjustment screws and the choke image.jpegyou also have to install longer carb studs or the air filter won't have anything to attach to. I used studs from an 066 because they are what I had handy at the time

Rebuilding my 260 carb and it's got a wte549?

As I was installing the diaphragm for the metering lever I noticed this

Seems to me that would be like drastically changing the metering lever height. Any thoughts?
