I've got a 194 that's assumed to be good, it needs rebuilding. If you're interested shoot me a offer and I forward that to the guy who technically owns it. I think I have a seal kit to go with it (aftermarket).
Proline is what I have. The seal kit same thing as a rebuild kit? Diaphragms, gaskets, metering mechanism, screens............

I’ve had crap luck with all the aftermarket carbs. Seems like 1 in 8-10 actually tunes right 1 in 3-4 kinda works. I’ve had the jets gall up on 3-4 retune and not be able to turn them anymore. I’d much rather pay 100$ for a new wt 194 than beat my head against the wall on a cheap clone carb. I actually just went through a real 194t on an 026 yesterday, wouldn’t tune right but had been rebuilt by local Stihl shop. I’ve never quite known why a carb will let the saw run with the low speed shut like this one and a few others have. But after clean the whole carb in the ultrasonic with the Welch plugs removed, putting in new needle, setting metering lever properly and changing out the brass check valve the carb now acts perfectly when tuning it. So even though I don’t know exactly want was going on 100% it works well now.

I have one also, bad thing is coils are notorious for failing
You can just use a regular “everything” type Stihl unlimited coil in its place. Just make a little metal bracket for the dogleg mount. Only problem is then the light won’t work…
