Dolmar 5100 Husqvarna 562XP On the NO PORT LIST

[SawTroll]

Oooops, posted about the wrong saw, but it was one that comes with a too small Zama carb.....

I thought the XP 372 HD 12 was a direct bolt-on?

 

[SawTroll]

Hooray 5100!!!

Not, and I suspect that one has a too small Zama carb as well (no info availiable though), as it doesn't accellerate as a good 50cc saw should.
There is a connection there, but of course there are other variables as well.....

I have read that as well, but don't really know - anyway, the HD-12 needs to be bored out to make a major difference, according to what I have been told.

The HD-12 is a direct swap......but is undersized IMHO as well. The XT carb is the best I've used on the saw, but an air filter is a bugger.

What keeps you from boring out the HD-12?

Some do...
Some don't..
I've had several of both...
Kept the 2 that were best...
The right carb is important, but Zama hasn't figured out how to build the same carb twice it seems...

Matt, I think you nailed down my feelings as well. Some Zama carbs are fine.....others are just crap.

I'm not a chinese product fan right now... Even if the design was ok, the QC sucks... And what's really frustrating, is I don't know enough about carbs to dig into one and tell someone if it's right or wrong, and why...
When all else fails, replace it with a new one, but is that one a good one???
Pffftt.... Who the hell knows!!!!??
Wonky carbs are enough to make someone wanna put a gun to their head...
They put these things on the cheap Stihl's too, and that's usually what I have to deal with from the neighbors...

Fixed.

Fixed.

You just made Troll's day.

I've yet to see a 261 with a carb problem......and they wear a Zama.

 

[Tim Carroll]

Quit agruing and let's see some stuff blow up already.

 

[Hedgerow]

Fixed.

I've heard...
But nobody around here owns the high dollar stuff...
So I don't get to marvel at it's creamsickleness....

Key word being...
"YET"

If I get one it will probably show up

I've got 4 MS261s to port next week. They are pretty hot right now.

Sort of - you can of course not bore it all the way around.

Blame Stihl then!
