I have this engine fitted to a power pruner telescopic 12" chainsaw 80s vintage. It has had very little work but has sat in the garage for many years. It has a bulb primed carb with no identification ( what happened to those nice Tillotson and Walbro carbs, so easy to work on) and 3 tubes from the tank, a supply, return and external breather.

 

Symptoms are it primes via the bulb and fires up as expected, a few pulls with choke and then one pull without. It revs fine briefly and dies. I can see air in the return pipe so I think one of the diaphram/gaskets has split, probably sucking air from the crank case.

 

Problem is I cannot find a gasket kit online in UK, so wonder if there are other similar models with pats available. Alternatively is there any interchangeability with these carbs?

Kioritz are the best 2 strokes. Echo is Yamabiko owned by Kioritz. If it's the 21cc engine, loads of parts available from echo. Got any pics?

 

Yes when echo were first sold here they were marketed as Kioritz-Echo. This particular telescopic pruner was sold under the Oregon brand before I saw the Stihl models.

 

I have put it back in the shed so no new pictures but this:
