Sold Minty 359

[Josh 0619]

What're ya doing with the 199? I might have a purpose for it.

I was thinking of putting it on a ported 357

 

[Josh 0619]

Josh, pump your breaks buddy, I'm not losing sleep. It was a question, if you look at that picture it looks as I said. Doesn't take away from the saw. Some saws had course installed from the factory and some fine. Thought maybe we had a unicorn with both. (I hate this text crap because people don't truly get your intentions and snap back with a snippy response)
PS (hate to say it) dont see any loctite on those bolts after you reinstalled them?

The loosing sleep comment was because your post was near 2am, not being a smart***. I also loctited the bolts after the picture was taken

Ok, got ya now. It was near 2am, your right lol. Man I have to get a life. All good josh. If i didnt have my 357xp (that I dont use) id be justified to buy this beauty and not use it also.

 

[jr27236]

@chipper1-- thanks for explaining that. Its difficult to understand peoples tones or sarcasm with plain text. I have been accused of it myself at times.[emoji1][emoji38]
As I type this Im sitting before a 192T im cleaning up...just washed some parts in the tube while my wifes out lmao. She'd kill me if she saw that. Now to vent the smell of SuperClean.

I love the 359/357 but after picking up a really clean 357 i decided to sell this 359 and let the 357 have it's spot on the shelf

 

[jr27236]

Thats a really nice one.

I think that is very similar to my idea!

Do you know the ins and outs of them? The correct kit, venting the diaphragm cover, the possible AP issues. If not, it's out there. If so, you've done your homework [emoji106]

"Because the original carb was a walbro 199, didn't want to scare a newby off."

Good idea ditching that problematic carb and the crap plastic clamp/boot combo. All 359's / 2159's after 2008 (i believe) used the Zama carb for the exact reason of the 199 being JUNK. I wont own or sell a 359 that has a 199 on it. It is NOT worth the headache. Folks should be pleased to buy a saw from someone that has a clue about stuff like this instead of "saw runs great".. but they forget to tell you it will only run great during WOT.. wont idle.. barely starts.. etc (in reference to walbro 199 carb).

You must not have read the whole thread my friend .

I wasn't responding to you. Just adding that the seller is doing the right thing by a potential buyer

I realized you weren't responding to me.
There are plenty of post and videos on what the 199 needs to cure those problems.
The OP and another michigander are both looking to put that "JUNK" carb on ported saws, so there must be more to the story .

Lets get this saw sold, I don't need another one when I'm trying to reduce the fleet size.
Back to the top it goes Josh .

Here, this guy knows a thing or two about carbs so I've heard, hi Scott.

"Junk" = Not worth the headache for most saw owners.

anyone that is going to run a hot saw or modded saw with the carb / modified or not / is not a standard saw owner.

i am aware of the youtube "fix" but i wont even bother since you can buy a brand new zama in the box for $20.00 shipped on ebay. a OEM Carb kit for a 199 is going to run you $10.00.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I gobble up the 199, I have 4 or 5 right now, keeping 1 for my 346xp, my 357xp has 1 already and sending the rest to MMWS, Randy can always use them. I do like the Zama better myself, less issues, run great on stock saws, but the 199 just works better for ported saws.

 

[romad10]

I'll be listing a few on eBay soon. I get $30.00 out of them.

I'll take all the junk 199's anyone wants to send me!


Bump to the top for an extremely nice 359

 

[Josh 0619]

Any offers?

 

[bryanr2]

199 is the carb Id want on that saw. Ive had 2 359s- one mint, one nos, both ported. And I have a brand new ported 357xp that I will not cut loose any time soon.

@sunfish

[bryanr2]

[romad10]
