Carb issues that I see everyday are either, pump diaphragm with pinholes, this is the thin black plastic piece under the cover that is usually held in by one large screw in the centre of the cover. Blocked strainers or more often than not dodgy one way valves/valve/check valve.  The accelerator pump is also prone to fail on a lot of the C1Q carbs. If gaskets and diaphragms don't sort it then IMO just replace the carb. Using a cheap Chinese copy can be hit and miss, Ive seen enough of them that I dont bother working on a machine if its had one fitted as you can just waste so much of your time trying to sort it out. If its a pro saw then just pay the money and buy genuine.

 

 

Agree,

Chinese replacement carbs can indeed be hit and miss. Example from this year. 2 year old 13hp loncin motor on a beach boat hauling winch. Much corrosion of carb due to saltwater exposure. I replaced original carb ( Chinese loncin ) with a Chinese carb. 

     Winch under load would stall out unless choke on partially. ( Running lean but fixed main jet) Put old main jet into new carb ....sorted. not E10 related I know but what I'm getting at is it's easy to fit a new carb and if the machine is still not right you go on a wild goose chase looking at other possibilities.
