Well I must either really good at it or very lucky as I am still repairing close 100% of the carburetors. Having to replace several Stihl carburetors due primer base check valves going bad and Stihl wants as much for them as a new carburetor so I just stick on a new Stihl Zama carburetor.
Just got in a 021 chainsaw, a FS38 curve shaft trimmer, and a FS56 brushcutter. Chainsaw has a Walbro so it already done. The FS38 is wanting to backfire so I suspecting I got a bad coil on it but I'll check the carburetor anyways, and FS56 I don't know as it started raining. I had to get the babies in before they drowned.
The Stihl Zama carbs are getting to be a pain since Stihl took over Zama. Now they want me to order all the parts through the local dealers [if the carburetor is on a Stihl unit] which can't even get the kits even when I provide them with the Stihl part numbers.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
