    The reason I found the 372xp that I posted earlier was that I was at a guy's house to buy a MS260 Pro. Picked this up two days ago. She is minty. Pulled 155psi and top end is spotless. Some wear to the bar, but this thing saw very little action. So.......reading up on carb settings, I'm seeing max RPM at 14K!! For those with this saw (or those in the know), is this where I should be shooting for with the tach? Seems high! Here are the pics! Cheers!

    We all know it's rare to find a saw like that, you sure did luck out.

    Yes, the 260 should spin 14k in stock trim. I like those saws..... And that sure is a pretty one.

    Wow... Sticker on the front? That is a very low hour saw.

    And yes.. 14k sounds good. ;)
