Zama carb Stihl Conspiracy

[funky sawman]

It seems after the stihl to zama buyout in 2009, Husqvarna saws that use zama carbs have been total crap (the carb not the saw). My opinion on the matter is that Stihl is in bed with zama now and they are sending DOG POOP carbs to husqvarna to ruin there sales and boost the stihl saw sales, call me crazy but it makes sence.
LETS MAKE A STAND.............................. NO CHINEESE DOOOG POOP ZAMA CARBS on husqvarnas

I cannot stand Zama carbs on the 372xp they seem to never rebuild quite right its Walbaro or nothing on Husky for me!

You mean you don't rike dat Chinee carbulata? made by WEEFOOYOO
Never use compressed air (from an air compressor)on one,there is a check valve internal you will cook.(soak in cleaner)
Max pressure to clean out passages is the red tip from a carb cleaner can.
I have had good ruck doing it this way.
they are fairly easily to rebuild.
Walbro carbs Woop ASS!

SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!...its supposed to be a secret

 

[funky sawman]

I am talking new out of the box saws with faulty zamas, and also new replacement carbs, why rebuild a 30 dollar piece of dog poo

 

[Aaron441]

Must not be a very good conspiracy, because Zama carbs on Stihls aren't much better.

 

[Walt41]

What about the ones on Echo Weedeaters, I'm almost out of my secret stash of old Walbros to replace em, might have to break down and order some kits. Anyone else notice the subtle differences in the castings sometimes in the same series?

Was this on Fox "News"?

ZAMA= acient chineese secret

 

[RAMROD48]

Isnt it a Zama carb. that is used to make the 357/359's actually run?

 

[funky sawman]

Yep, zama carb did make those 359, 357's run, they are a better built carb also, msrp on those are 100 dollars, not 56.99 like that stupid 576 non autotune carb

Does anyone know what (or if) any Model of Stihl has a ZAMA C1-1792a Carburetor in it?

Are you sure it's not C1-17-02a? That model was for McCulloch I believe.

Oops…yup, my mistake…it is a 1702a. You are correct, it goes to my Wildcat. I was hoping maybe Stihl put one them in their models (then there is a chance out local Stihl Shop might have the kit on the shelf). When I called them this morning, they said they couldn’t go off the Carb numbers…they needed a Stihl Model number….

You'll need to shop online then. They are available from lots of suppliers, e.g.:
