I put that carb on my 170 but I just bought a knock off Chinese carb just to experiment and believe it or not it work great . Stihls don't like knock off carbs . My local Mom and Pop lawnmower shop that is a Stihl dealer told me it wouldn't work but it did . I also figured out what 18 inch Stihl bar would fit on a 170 and I figured out what Stihl sprocket would fit on the 170 that had more teeth ( I think it has 7 ) they told me it wouldn't work either but I told them just order me the parts . Well with a muffkin mod that little 30cc saw runs MUCH better now and cuts better too .
Curious what you paid from walbro?? I just got that carb last week for my ms250 because I hated the limited adjustment on stock carb. I paid 47 plus tax at dealer for mine! By the way my 250 has never run so good!!

Hey, just wondering if you would share the part number on that bar?
Good stuff
