Husqvarna Rancher 455 Carburator Replacement

[BaruchK]

Hi, guys. I have a Rancher 455 that's not running properly. Took it to a repair guy, who told me that it needed a new carburator. I ordered a drop-in carburator replacement from Amazon which was supposed to fit, but doesn't. Video attached. Advice?

I wouldn’t waste my time with those Chinese carbs. The new carb for my 445 was $50 from the dealer and it fit right in

Plus it looks like the new one you got is wrong

You have the much less common 455 Rancher w autotune carb - didn't even know they made one. Far as I can tell, no one made an aftermarket replacement. The OEM is ridiculously expensive - $220 on one site. There should be nothing that can't be rebuilt on the mechanical part of the carb to make it run right. Find a better repair guy. Probably just needs an ultrasonic cleaning.

Possible 455 Rancher II version.

Number 10 on the IPL.

Try to rebuild the original carb with a kit. Husqvarna part number 577666101.

Most places will let you send it back and get the correct one if you will contact them.

Did the mechanic explain exactly why it needed replacing?
