Husqvarna 357 rebuild

And now I've checked the manual I realise the max engine speed is 14000rpm, so I don't have to dick around with the carb.

 

Sometimes I really need to remember to double check the manual.

Has this saw still got the compensator carb on it?

When you say compensator carb, what do you mean exactly?

I was really impressed with it this afternoon. Just hope it wasn't a fluke!

I took lots of pictures to help remind me how it came apart, so I have some of the carb, mostly covered in filth. Not sure if they help? It's a 2011 saw I think.

They came in Walbro and Zama flavours, the Walbro suffers with accelerator pump issues, the Zama was the solution to the issue.

Ah, awesome. Thanks for the explanation. I think it is the Zama carb. I did briefly look for the model/identification when I cleaned it, and remember seeing C3 cast on the body, so I assume it is the C3 EL42 carb.

Quite correct Steve, however there is something strange in those pictures, that's not a 357 filter holder or just a bad picture, and the black plate between the metering diaphragm and cover would say its a compensator carb, but the breather hole in the pump cover would say its not?
