Zama Carb manual

[jed1154]

This is NOT for a chainsaw, but i bet a chainsaw uses it. Its actually for a homelite string trimmer...a UT2002A. The carb number from homelite is 985624001 (marked superseded) by 308054003.

Does this mean anything to anyone? It has plastic crap all over the carb, and i think it needs to be adjusted, but i can't really turn anything. There is red cap and a white cap. The red one can't be turned, but the white one can, and it has not effect on teh running of the engine that i can tell. It still wont idle unless half choked and it will not run well on no choke.

EDIT: OK, here are all the numbers that are on the carb:

C1U
140 H
H60D
46A

Look for air leaks. Air is getting in if you have to cut off the air flow with the choke.

yes that means its made in china just being honest with you on that note

it would be better quality to get a older trimmer and fix it up

and go with a walbro carb instead of a zama

zama is made in china if you did not know

i sell tons of the zama primer bulbs more than walbro primer bulbs i guess that explains the quality of the product
i sorry if you are having trouble with that unit if i were you i take it back to where you bought it and tell them you want your $ back and then go buy a used 1980 some model trimmer and fix it up to use

it would last you over 20 years or more

It was a gift. And its way to old to return. When it siezes up, ill get a Stihl or Echo.

By that time, they'll probably be made in china too

the way things are heading probily correct on that one


jed i did not know it was a gift


glad you did not spend any funds on it
find you a ST-200 or a SX-135 they are good trimmers










oh dan guess what i have
some ST-200 trimmer parts

I would never have bought it, but i must say, up to now, its been a very reliable trimmer.

Now, if i buy a kit for this thing, can i flush the orifices with carb cleaner WITHOUT taking otu the adjustment screws?
