Stihl MS250 carburetor

[a. palmer jr.]

I'm messing with several Stihl MS250 chainsaws and I'm wondering if anybody knows much about the carburetor that most of them are using, they appear to either be non-adjustable or at least different. I don't know if I should try to run the saws with those on them or buy adjustable ones and throw these in the trash..
I looked at the number on it and it's a Zama C1q. I've worked on C1qs before but not this type..

c1q-s76 or wt215. wt215 adjustment screws are closer together to you may have to use a different grommet and you may need to open a hole in the shroud for it. either carb should run around 32 bucks. now if you have an easy start version with a primer its a different carb all together

One of these is an easy start with primer but I'm probably not going to mess with that one. That one will be my parts saw or door stop..

yea the easy start primer carbs don't come as cheap for some reason...at least the last time I checked on them anyways. door stop should work well.

The $13 Chinese knockoff from Amazon works fine. Eliminate the primer bulb.

Yep, chainsaws did without them for years..

I was gonna sell the starter and flywheel off the easy start saw but noticed the flywheel key sheared off, no wonder it wouldn't start. It probably wasn't in time either..something else to put in concrete when I pour it next..
