Need help finding a carb

[Outdoorguy1979]

So I picked up a husqvarna 335xpt and did a compression test, with 135 psi it bled off within 2 min. I did not block off the carb and muffler. But this is my question I'm trying to find a carb. The ones I've found are 200 bucks and not paying for that. So any recriminations on where to find a carb for it ?

Does it have the walbro WT-582 or WT-459 on it?

Also ask yourself does it have to be a exact replacement? Half of my current saws have bigger than stock carbs on them and run better for it.

I don't now what carb it is and I don't care what carb it is I just want to get this saw running

 

[Outdoorguy1979]

I'll let you know what carb it is when I get home tonight

If you don't care what carb it is ,
you probably won't get that saw running .Unless you pay the $200.

Well the WT-662 might be a close enough replacement but only you will be able to look at the current one and see if you can make it work. Those are a dime a dozen online OEM or China ones.

Well if I have to i will sell it or part it out I refuse to pay 200 for a carb

 

[Outdoorguy1979]

Ok thank you I will look the carb over when I get home and post what it is

No need theres a carb out there you can make run and work great on the cheap just gonna figure out which one is all. I'd sell it to before i paid that much for a carb to.

I hope I need this saw running I texted the wife she is suspect to send me pics of it and the numbers when she gets up

 

[Outdoorguy1979]

The carb no. Is wt4598746

 

[thompsoncustom]

so it's the wt-459.

what's wrong with the carb? if something isn't physically broke I would start with a rebuilt kit which u can get for about 15 bucks.

 

[Outdoorguy1979]

The carb is nasty I've cleaned it up but don't trust it. I rebult 1 for a 450 and the carb was bad so I'll be ordering one for that as well.

 

[thompsoncustom]

well if you go the swap route you'll have to make sure the bolt hole pattern is the same. other than that you need to make sure your impulse setup will work. if the saw has a manifold impulse hole and u swap to a carb with a impulse barb you have to drill the cylinder for a barb or the carb to work with the manifold hole.

controls and jets on the same side are a plus, you'll probably have to bend your linkage or drill a different hole where you linkage mounts to the carb or both.

I just have to find one that will work
