Always busy, had an MS260 come back after conversion to Aspen. I had fitted a new carb kit and fuel lines and all seemed OK - started and revved out well.

 

It did the same but in the cut it had some weird cuttinng in and out and wouldn't idle.

 

Found the fault - worn earth and kill wires after rubbing against the top AV mount: -

Spud I had that exact same thing on a 260 before.

 

It would want to die when put into timber but carry on once withdrawn. When pressure was put on the saw the ht would hit the mount with the movement and then move away when pressure released.

 

Ensure the wire is put in its small channel on the top cover when replacing or it will happen again.

 

I did put some electrical tape over it for good measure.

 

It had me baffled for a short while as I was thinking fuel filter and carb until I noticed it.

You live and learn - annoying thing is that I cut a bit of wood with it before it went back the first time - perfect....Grrrrrrrrr:lol:
