Want to Buy 272xp carb!!!!

[Paul Silvestri]

Looking for a 272xp carb new or used.. the one I have has been rebuilt but I believe there to be leak around the fuel supply nipple into the carb. No Chinese or aftermarket carbs. This saw deserves better.

 

[Woodslasher]

Can you replace the nipple or dab some Krazy Glue/JB Weld around the base of the nipple?

 

[Paul Silvestri]

Someone already did the JB on it... I can't find my vacuum stuff so I'm throwing parts at it....

 

[Paul Silvestri]

Also I have been able to get this screw out but it's location is tricky... Is there an easier way to remove the lower carb screw on the 272?

I saw a 181 where someone cut/ground a notch out of the case so they could access the screw better. Aside from that or getting a set of ball-tipped hex keys I dunno any good way to remove that.

I bought this exact carb for my 272XP a couple years ago.

I think a ball hex Allen wrench will work.

I made a tool by cutting some length off a regular Allen wrench to make it fit in there. Still a slow process, but the wrench fits in there nicely and fully engages the head of the bolt so you don't bugger it up. I now keep that cut-off wrench for that specific job.

4 mm ball end tee handle works very good.

I have a new Walbro for 272XP. I need to look what I paid for it. If interested send a PM.

Warhol new $119. Am $10/$15? My am carb on my 350 runs perfect.

I would need to look up the invoice for the new 272XP Walbro I have. I know It was under $100.
AM carbs work fine sometimes. My experience says I get a really good one about one out of three times.
If somebody needs the Walbro I'll let it go for what I paid plus shipping.

If you don't want to invest in a ball end allan key, you could just drill a hole in the case in line with the lower left carb screw. Those ball allan keys are pretty pricey, haha.

Fact, I was an auto mechanic and repairing cars for others on weekends. At the time I went to carburetor 101 school before fuel injection. I knew carbs inside out. I had a customer who wanted a already rebuilt carb. I purchased one from a auto supplier. It leaked the float level was off. The customer said not to touch it. I got three carbs and they all leaked. My buddy was there and I told him to take the customer for coffee. I opened up the carb adjusted the float, by the time the customer came back it was running. Your three time rule is ok.

I think I just removed the kill switch to get at the carb screw.
