It sounds like the needle valve may be leaking fuel through a little, very difficult to tell from your description. One problem I have had on the earlier version of the MS260 - the 026 was the spring in the air filter come loose causing the choke flap to open and close at mid to full throttle - it causes a pulsating sound like a very heavy four stroking noise and the saw will run very rich and not rev well. Fire the saw up with the orange air filter cover removed and see if the choke actuator on the bottom right hand side of the airfilter is flipping open and closed whilst the saw is running. Also check the breather - possible it had dust in it and now a bit of fuel that has totally clogged it and is causing fuel starvation. What colour was the plug - black, white or tan? If you get stuck, PM me - I may be able to sort it out while you wait the week after Christmas

Yup, lots of smoke, exhaust that smells like Kerosene - it will pass. Had a customer whose saw was smoking like a goodun - think he thought it was my servicing, looked a bit embarrased when I eventually changed the fuel and it cleared and ran beautifully:thumbup:
-
Yup - take it easy on long extended cuts - give it two or three shots per ring on the big stuff until it is run in - all you are trying to do is stop a build up of heat through extended high speed flat out use until it has had some use.

As an addition to my previous post, one difference I have noticed between Chinese pistons and the better aftermarket ones is the machined inside flanks of the gudgeon pin retainer where it contacts the small end. I have hilighted the areas below, on the cheaper piston, the flanks are non machined and formed by the casting, the other one has been machined to size. On some cheaper pistons, I have had to open up this area to get them to fit over the small end! You can probably also see that the casting is of better qulity on the new piston.

You may remember a week ago I had a Stihl 064 in bits and had stated that the aftermarket piston previously fitted had been stamped with an arrow facing the wrong way. the second one I have seen like this. The ring ends had eventually snagged the inlet port and thankfully let loose before doing and real damage. The new piston arrived on Saturday, I always try to fit a quality piston if they are available and here is the picture clearly showing the ring retaining pins facing the wrong way on the old piston:001_rolleyes:

Cheers - may be useful!

Personally I would avoid splitting the bottom end unless the crank bearings are shot - generally the clutch side will go first as it gets all the abuse of overtightened chains etc. Just get it on the bench with the clutch off and push up and down and side to side on the shaft and feel for any movement. With the flywheel, clutch and top end removed, feel for any rough points in the bearings, if all good, leave well alone as it is easy for a novice to kill an otherwise good machine for no good reason!

Hi John,
Further specs on the saw - Model Profile: 2094 TURBO
A vid of the saw (NOT MINE)
To be honest, I purchased the saw and put it straight on the shelf and have not really had a good look at it, it does start and sounds fine but would clean, inspect before supplying - I reckon around £300 for it, chain is almost new, the bar is well used with no paint and is 26", I would give it a good dress and cleanup before sending it out.
Any good to you?
Steve

Didn't know you could get the single part:blushing:
-
Just one little addition - you will find the idle will drop when richening the L screw, just locate and turn the idle screw clockwise to increase the revs back to even idle speed. Make sure it is the idle screw you are turning:001_rolleyes:
-
Yes - just buy a new carb kit for the carb and insert the new mesh filter and save the rest of the kit for when the carb needs it. It wont cost much over £10 just make sure you get the full kit.
-
For those who don't know - B Snelling, the guy in the vid, is a porting God in the US as you can hear from these saws especially the 346XP it certainly isn't running at 14,000rpm! Nice job methinks:thumbup:
-
No Worries - just PM me if you need info, help etc..... always glad to help out. I got that 254 Husky up and running so drop me a line if you need it.

Chainsaws can have a real long life, just depends on who uses and maintains them. Usual parts that suffer are plastic casings, chain brake parts, carb parts and Piston and cylinder. Most Pro saws have heavy duty ball race crankshaft bearings and usually have a very long life. Seals can go but can be replaced as can many other parts. Many will write off a saw when fitting a few new parts will resurrect it, seen many 20 - 25 year old saws come through the workshop - and go out with years of life ahead of them. The modern saws will weigh less and cut faster with better AV but the old ones will still be around for years to come usually retired to home owners with log burners or to landscapers on a lower budget rather than pro arb operators .

You been breaking my machine - don't know how you managed that, this may help: - IPL - http://www.jonsered.ws/2065.pdf 365 IPL - http://s30387.gridserver.com/partsDiagrams/Husqvarna%20365.pdf Same Part:thumbup: Supplier - Quick Order Take it easy and look after the saw:001_rolleyes:

I am sure you will get to an answer but PVA isn't it, this is an internal sealent and will just go milky and wash off if it gets wet again. I am thinking some sort of pitch - possibly the cold adhesive used to glue felt on flat roofs as a possible fix? Not too expensive but not a great time of year to lay it!
-
Yeah - thats guys off my Chrimbo card list and hope his saw don't go wrong - I ain't fixing it now wheres me Husky rifle.....you left out sewing machines!! Just had a thought....two stroke sewing machine - that would be a weapon - could port it ....Mmmmmm got me thinking:thumbup:
-
Got the latest MS200T licked - pulled the carb appart and found a loose welch plug in the diaphragm chamber - sealed it back in, rebuilt the side cover and fired it up, all good:thumbup: Another one ready for sale!
-
MS200Ts have a single sided clip and pawl - never had a problem, shared design with many other Stihl machines, the larger with double pawls but yours has a slightly different pulley and the other components would not be there on non ergo start machines. If taking off the lubrication doesn't fully work, close up the spring slightly in a bench vice - that should do it:thumbup:
