I'm sick of cleaning my immaculately clean, low hour carb and want to just try sticking a new one on.
 
Are the £14 ones off ebay any good or do I need another zama - albeit I find it hard to believe anything could be worse !
 
Thanks
Had a farmetec one in my 361 for many years now. Hasn't been any bother at all. Although if your carb is clean and the diaphragms are ok it may not be a carb issue

It's actually an Fs90 strimmer, rarely used, and unlike my husky saws, every time I come to use it, it won't start.

 

After cleaning the carb (I've never seen any dirt) it starts but dies at full throttle.

 

After multiple cleans, soaking in thinners, using an airline etc it eventually works.

 

It's probably done less than 50 hours in its life and is run on Stihl oil.
