Want to Buy HD33 carb

[stihlguy]

Looking for an HD33 carb to install on an MS280 to eliminate the carb w/ soleniod.

Let me check at the shop I may have a good used one

Thanks. I just printed out the diag procedure that someone posted from the Stihl manual, will double check the wiring and solenoid to verify. Most likely it will need a carb replacement(w/o the solenoid).

I just checked the resistance thru the harness to the solenoid, all w/in specs. The diagnostic flow chart says to replace the ignition module!!!!?????? I'm leaning towards the carb. !!!!

I’ll check tomorrow if I can find you the carb

I'm learning more and more about this saw, problem is, nothing is good about it. If you switch to a regular carb., supposedly you have to switch the flywheel and module???? Don't waste time looking for the carb., it's my nephews saw, I'm going to suggest a new saw.
Thanks for your help.

Main issue with those 270 280 saws was ripping intake boots due to the ****** anti vibe design

Intake boot, fuel and impulse hoses are all fine. I removed the intake boot to inspect it. I just can't see dumping $$$$ into this saw unless it is a simple fix. my nephew has had it for 16 yrs. so he got his use out of it.

Fair enough
