What's on your bench today?

[SpannerRat]

After avidly reading here I decided to try my first completely orange saw.

 

It apparently had a clutch fault and a oil pump fault.

The clutch fault appears to have been the coil touching the flywheel. Ive yet to get to the bottom of the oil pump as the plastic adjusting screw is broken and a quick bit of research suggests there is a metal replacement available.

 

I put some Aspen in and it did start, but I'm going to do a full strip anyway.

 

Ive bought loads of Stihl spares online, if anybody can recommend somewhere to get Huskey parts posted from I'd be very grateful.

 

Thanks guys:001_smile:

Greenstripe for Husky parts IMO.

 

Just put the MS260 back together with the WTE kit (thanks to GardenKit!).

 

To go over this again, is there really no official meter arm height? I tightened it all the way and it wasn't happy, then slackened it off 'a bit' and now it runs fine, but I'm not entirely satisfied with the 'sticking up a bit' non-science!

 

Given that Walbro has a meter arm height for everything else, I wonder why not with the WTE?

 

Odd!

Look back a couple of pages. You will find out. I had the same problem. And it was the wrong kit, meaning the arm was being pushed too low int he first place.

 

Got a hedge cutter in that will run for ten mins then stop and be a real pig to start. So that's first job tomoz. Just before I go digger driving.

 

I hope.

re the setting height of the 260 WTE arm.

 

Its a strange one that, but here seems to be no specified height. Although the carb is Walbro, it is unique to Stihl, so thats possibly why Walbro do not publish specs.

 

The Stihl service manuals tell you exactly how to fit the metering arm, but never mention the setting height.

 

Unless i am missing something…..

Man by the name of Goaty dropped this by - anyone want to guess what it is for as I had never seen one before - he found it in New Zealand.

 

Surprisingly, it actually works very well:thumbup:
