I've gotten some of the knock off carbs, so far so good. Looking at getting another for a Robin brush cutter that's no longer available, even Makita doesn't have one. Last one I saw they had was over $100, still to high even if only 1 was available.

I just paid 85 for one. Farmertec has some good stuff, sometimes when it goes south they will ingored it and that hurts. The carb is the only thing I really want oem. The oil mix and the carb is my insurance policy.

My problem was the carb I needed, Walbro had discontinued years ago, even getting a kit is hard to find. So it's getting changed over to a different model and brand.

I wished they made so old mag case Poulan part kits.

I just seen some huztl assembled saw kits on sleezebay cheap with free ship. The scary part is they show a assembled saw but they use the word kit. I’ll stick with the old huskys even if they need fixing.

I’d like to build a hot saw but someone said the Chinese cylinders have chrome chipping when there Ported.

So replace the cylinder. You can replace a lot of parts in a kit and come way under the cost of a Stihl

I just built a 200t. Used ones go for 700+. I have a brand new clone and the total valve is likely less than 425 including the 85$ carb. I did same thing on my other kits 660, etc. I put meteors on two. The 200t kit had a beautiful cylinder reminded me of my 070 cylinder finish.

Some interesting information...

http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2014/07/26/how-long-does-a-patent-last/id=50534/

Both Stihl 066's and Husqvarna 372's entered the market in the 1990's. 371 in 1996 + 20 =2016, Last year for "OE" 372's was 2009 here I believe. Therefor those have even been obsolete for 10 years. ( No to me, they are one of my favorites) Think the 066 was out 1990-91 ( +20= 2010-2011 )

What does all that mean relative to this conversation? Nothing. Just raw data.
That ought to stir the pot..
