Three too many letters on the end of the sign in background. [emoji6]

Nice looking saw BTW. [emoji106]

Nice! That's the early prototype with the computer controlled carb. They were all supposed to be destroyed.

When I get back to logging again I’m gonna try to use the excavator to put a good size junk log in the back of my pickup... if the boss doesn’t mind lol

Strap it down on the tailgate like Jake

Forgot to tuck the connector in

Something I noticed with the zama on these and a 365/372 is the idle screw tends to wear out from use and vibration over time (poor design imo). The screw then backs out when your running it. Talk about annoying. I fix it by cutting a actual idle screw to fit that I take off my junk pile of carbs. One off a 51/55 or 394 carb works good. Just cut shorter to fit and grind a little off the throttle stop, so you can turn in the screw far enough that doesn’t rest on the spring. Takes a lot of fiddling around but it works and cheaper than buying a new carb.

Blue loctite works

Blue loctite works

Sure, but wanted something a little more permanent. Should have had spring in the first place imo.

Being clean helps. Completely degreased.

I got four of these, never noticed any kind of idle issues - knock on wood!

Have seen two or three zama and one walbro (with the same no spring style setup) with this issue. The one on my 7900 and my extra parts carb is still tight.

 

[huskyboy]

The walbro was a 100+$ new wj115 carb . I did the same fix on it with a spring... problem solved. I shouldn’t have to do that on a new carb. That was probably one that snuck by quality control, since I had one on another saw that was fine.
