Need a New Carb for a Stihl 024av West German Made

[funonahonda]

Hello, I'm looking for a carb for a Stihl 024av made in West Germany, not sure who is the manufacturer of the carb that is on it, The saw leaks gas through the muffler trays why I'm thinking carb replace.

That looks like the desirable Tillotson WT 403B, not sure what you mean by "leaking gas through the muffler trays"but if you are sure it's leaking fuel get a carb kit and fix the problem, it shouldn't be too difficult but if that's beyond your ability your Stihl dealer will sell you a replacement or get him to fix the carb or if you want to save $ there are plenty of after market carbs online but they are sometimes of lesser quality

yep, get to the real cause of the problem, cant blame the make of carb, you need to be a bit more specific on what the saw is or is not doing.
Im not sure I understand what you mean by the carb is leaking thru the muffler trays.

can you be more specific on whats happening ?
have you drained and put fresh fuel mix in it.
does it idle, does it go to wide open throttle well etc

you get the idea.

Sorry fat fingered the keyboard, the saw is leaking gas from the muffler, just wanting to put another carb on it but didn’t know what aftermarket carb to get. I will be doing all the work myself, the saw is flooding itself and the unburnt fuel is leaking through the muffler

I just installed one of these WT-194 carbs on a 1986 West German 024 AV I restored:

Runs perfect!

Thank you Paul, I just ordered that carb I will install and get back to the forum and follow up, thanks again

Happy to help. This carb is on a 1985 024 AVS I purchased new in March 1986. Still works perfect, never been touched. Looks like the same one as yours.


What is your serial number? Here are mine:
024 AVS 115000914: Produced 10/1985 in West Germany. Purchased new March 1986. Upgraded with a ported Mahle 44.7 P/C

024 AV 115607671: Produced 05/1986 in West Germany. Purchased dead December 2022 & restored,. Upgraded with a shaved and ported Mahle 44mm P/C

I recall ten years ago rebuilding an 024AV after a guy ran over it with his pickup truck. Both bar studs were snapped off, both the outer handle and chain brake handle were ruined. Outer plastic housings were toast and the tank housing was a wreck. Bar was bent out of shape. By some miracle the case was still intact.

I told the owner that the parts were worth more than the saw, but he insisted that I rebuild it because his brother owned it and passed away suddenly. So, I did, and he called me this post summer and told me that the saw still runs today.

Tough little saws in my book.

I would much rather have the WT 194 , I am not a fan of Tillotson those plastic barbs get loose and leak

Don’t be surprised if the Amazon carb doesn’t work. The success rate seems to be 50:50.

Yes, he’s just being lazy.

Yes, he’s just being lazy.

I don't think he knows what to do?

I think it’s more about not wanting to do it. A quick YouTube search would bring everything up!

I apologise for being a little direct OP. The reason many have suggested to rebuild is because the quality of the original carb is excellent and made to much better tolerances than any Chinese aftermarket carb will be.

The other issue is that they’re generally 50:50 whether it will even work. That in itself will cause you annoyance and a challenge, especially if you don’t know how to tune one.

It’s incredibly simple rebuilding them, rebuild
kits are typically easily accessible. I recommend OEM if possible.

Either way, good luck and sorry once again.

No harm taken Vintage and yes we can rebuild it ourselves but wanted a quick and easy fix, I have ordered the rebuild kit also if the $14 carb don’t fix the problem, thank you for all input.

Just to let you guys know, I got the Amazon carb that Paul Fithian said he put on his 024 and I worked great, fixed thank you so when the carb rebuild comes in I can rebuild the original carb and have one on hand for it.
