Hello everyone,
I recently was gifted, or burdened, with 4 free saws. The nicest of them is an old Homelite super 2. It hasn't been run in many, many years so I put new fuel lines on it, new plug, flushed out the tanks, but couldn't get it it to start. It kicked over for a second but then it started flooding really bad. I ordered a rebuild kit for the carb from the local shop but need some help with the reassembly.
The carb is a Zama C2S-H5A. The kit is a Zama RB16. The diaphragm that was originally in the carb has the metal circle on it to actuate the needle but the new one does not. Is that correct? Or do I need to reuse the old diaphragm? The guy at the shop said that someone may have used an incorrect kit rebuilding the carb in the past. And on the fuel pump side, I'm not sure on the order of the gaskets and diaphragm since there are 3. Number 3 in the photo is the actual thick gasket. And my last question, the low side mixture screw is the one with the longer "needle" on it correct?
I appreciate any help, I'm not sure if the carb was correct to begin with so I don't want to base the rebuild off of that, and on top of that I've forgotten a few things since I took it apart over a month ago. Hoping you knowledgeable gentleman can point me in the right direction.
