That is a Walbro WTE-1B carburetor on the MS 260, not WT-605.

Is that a correct carb for that saw? I’ve never seen one, but this is my first 260

 

[DND 9000]

Yes that is correct for the MS 260.

Well thank you. I was able to look up that carb

Technically the 510, 5000, 5100s all used the same piston at the same age.

Good eye on the tank vent. Foam is gone. Needs the new style vent.

I've never heard of the 5000, or saw a red top. Earlier version of the 5100?

Yes, but not all of them has a piston that was previously IN a 510...

I can also smell that you’ve put a new carb in it... And a METAL handlebar?? Sacrilege

Homelite 2000. Got it several years ago completely disassembled so I put it back together to see if it was all there. Had every part surprisingly. Has great compression and spark.

Original carb for the 034, a little bit strange!

How the heck does it hold the needle rod in place without the screw?

Those carbs are junk. WT 194 FTW...

Here's my "You suck" find. Was listed for free on Facebook Marketplace. Came with original manual and reciept from 1984. Has 125 psi of compression. Wasn't running when I got it, but cleaned it a little and put some fresh gas in it and it fired off. Bar on it is in great shape and the chain sharpened up okay. @PA Dan and @ChipsFlyin played a pretty good prank on me over it, I'll probably never live it down!

Who did what? Explain yourself young man!!! [emoji33][emoji28][emoji1787][emoji23]

 

[kingOFgEEEks]

Yup, 5000 was rev limited to 13500 vs 14500 for the 5100

The main thing I'm seeing is that I need a red top for my 5100, now that I know they exist.

Here goes,

So I meet with the seller, get the saw, send some pictures to Dan. A little later I get a text from a local number that the saw was actually stolen and the guy wants it back.

I wasn't sure if it was a scam or legit and I wasn't gonna get myself into any hot water over a free saw, so being the wonderful, upstanding citizen I am, I took a ride over to the local police station and explained it to the officer on duty. He said don't worry about it, but he'd call the phone number that the text came from and see who answered.

Well the person who answered was Mark! I didn't have Mark in my contacts so I didn't recognize the number! Mark and Dan decided to yank my chain and make me think the saw was hot Sounded like the cop gave Mark a bit of a hard time on the phone and the cop didn't find it half as funny as I did, but all is well that ends well and I was cracking up over it. Gotta give those two credit, it was pretty well executed.

TL;DR- if you start getting weird text messages about saws from numbers you don't recognize, it's probably Dan or Mark.
