Stihl SH85 Leaf Blower Carb

Postby Dale_W » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:46 am

The throttle shaft seized itself to the carb body. Even when I finally got it out, it was binding.

How the heck does that happen?

The carb is a ZAMA C1Q S50 031A

The usual searches for me are not locating a replacement for that carb.

Where might I find a replacement for that carb?

I ask because by the time I purchase a new throttle shaft, and may as well throw a rebuilt kit into this old thing, a replacement carb will likely be cheaper.

Thank you

Dale

can only get them via stihl dealer. Stihl has a deal with Zama that prevents Zama from making replacements and parts available via aftermarket any more

Thanks BG
I thought I remembered a thread about Stihl and Zama.

Man, that thread was only 6 days ago (4/24).
