Zama is no longer allowed to provide Technical support for any Stihl products including carburetors. The Zama website will no longer update Stihl carburetors. Customers will now have to contact Stihl at 1 888 326-9643 or stihlcs@stihl.us for Technical support questions. Stihl owns the tooling rights to our carburetors which means they control every aspect of that carburetor such as pricing, availability, service parts, etc. Zama did sell some kits for Stihl products in the past however that has been stopped at Stihl's request. All kits now are only available through a Stihl dealer.

My Zama repairs kit for the Stihl engines have gone from under $7 to $18 if the dealer has them in stock but if they got to order then they tack on $20 shc.They are just trying to force the customer to buy new equipment as my local dealer has a minimum labor charge of $100 just to replace a carburetor.
