So that is why they included the superflous plug! Thanks!

Got it. Then it's pulling air INTO the filter area not the other direction.

I was thinking (hoping) the same thing.

Hi guys, I had to replace the bulkhead on my 55 Rancher when I stripped the threads out of the plastic. When I received the replacement it had a rubber "stopper" in with it which I interpreted as the "plug" illustrated in the parts guide. When seated the new bulkhead, the air nozzle comes...

Alex, You said: "The clutch should be engaging at that high of an idle. That's not a good thing." I found some notes I wrote while browsing online. It appears I did run across some info on my saw which I wrote on the back of an envelope: "17.4/9000", "Max Speed 12500", "Engagement 3700" I'm...

Are you suggesting that the idle speed will slow if I were to adjust the L screw? I don't doubt that the low speed adjustment is not right on, but I'm uncertain of the proper procedure with which to address this. Again, anytime I get the speed of idle down near suggested, (by adjusting the T...

Hi guys. I recently finished replacing the carb and other parts on my Husky 55 Rancher. I set the L and H screws at 1 turn out on the new (China) carb and fired it up. It seemed to be OK. I adjusted the idle as I've seen recommended here by turning the "T" screw clockwise till the chain...

I finally received my parts this week and today replaced the carb and the bulkhead with the stripped screwhole. Fired up the saw this evening and it sounded healthy. I'll tune it tommorrow and get it back to work. Thanks to all who chimed in with advice and/or suggestions. Your input has made me...

Except users!

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to buy a hex t-handle set to use working on my Husqvarna EPA 2004-01 model of the 55 Rancher and want to purchase the right kit. I'd have expected it to be metric but the drive head on the screw (503210745) that mounts the carb to the bulkhead appears to be 5/32. Before I buy the...

I've been ordering from a N American supplier (ereplacementparts.com) where I not only get pretty good info and pricing, but they ship US Postal Service. My first order arrived in about 4 days, my second order has taken nine days and counting. The third order I bumped it up to Priority mail (3...

Thanks for the "heads up" on the airleak ramifications. I'll leave it alone till the parts come in. If the Walpro carbs will work, I'l order an aftermarket carb from ebay today.

If my saw is "antique" and I bought it new, what does that make me?

Jr27236 I tsted it again this evening. It started on the first pull fom a cold condition but died within a minute or so I could not get it to kick over again. I am waiting on new plastic bulkhead parts as i strpped out one of th sides of the carb securing bolts. I don't know if the failure to...

I'm finding no aftermarket Zama carbs, but plenty of the Walbro knockoffs. I'm only concerned that the throttle linkage might be different. Does anyone know for certain that these two (three) are interchangable? Walbro WT-170 ZAMA C1Q-EL6, C1Q-EL7 PS Alleyooper, when you say they are...

Jakethesnake, Good point about "would you ever use the spare?" Probably not, but I'd have a running saw while I teach myself all the ways to screw up rebuilding a carb with a kit for the Zama. Just today, I had it apart to check the carb model and clean it (without disassembling it) and I...

Rules? Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules! ~~ Santa

Alleyooper, are those carbs interchangable? My saw has a Zama, but it looks like the Walbro's are cheaper and don't seem to have the stops on the carb adjustment. I'm thinking swap out the carb and rebuild the one "off the saw".

Thanks, I'll break down the saw, get the carb model number and order a kit. Procarbine2K1, you are right an aftermarket carb isn't much more than a kit.
