Just call me Dr. Frankenstein (thats Fraunkensteen...),
I have two saws, an '92 50 with burned up bottom end and a '98 55 with burned up top end. I plan to make a Frankensaw and can either use the newer 55 set up with one pull choke/high idle, air injection and ZAMA carb or the older 50 set up with walboro carb and the goofy throttle/operator-presence-lever-high-idle and air cleaner choke. I don't mind the older set up and am wondering:
Is there a difference in the ZAMA vs Walboro carb for reliability or performance?
Can I put the air injection bits on the Walboro set up and is it worth it?
