Chinese Carburetor

[Derf]

There was a thread someone (maybe back on AS?) where Terry Syd and Poleman were discussing the Zama C3M carbs and drilling their jets to be larger. These were nicknamed "twin jet" and came originally on some Husky 365. The Husky 372XP came with a Walbro HD6 (later HD12B EPA). The C3M has a smaller venturi, but when modified can take quite well to the 372XP. I have a ported XPW (75cc) that just never ran quite right with the HD12. I got Rich (Poleman) to modify a Zama C3M for me, and the results were impressive! Better acceleration, more consistent RPM in the cut, and FASTER! Rich did great work sorting out some of the problems with the carb, had excellent packaging and communication with him, and was just amazing to deal with someone who is so professional and detail oriented. Thank you so much! Love the new carb!

Man.. if the bar is now set at wearing a polo shirt to make videos... I'll have to bow out...

Saw sounds wicked! Ever try an 8 pin for pine?

I have 8-pin rims, but I don't usually cut as much pine as hardwood; maybe next video I'll wear a t-shirt and try out the 8-pin.

Hi Fred!
It sounds great, needs a little more load I think. That is a strong Saw!! Who ported it?

Thanks Dan,
It traded hands a few times before I bought it, but I was told (by JacobJ) it was the great ape himself who stuffed the bananas into it.

I've got some ash and maple trees I have to drop and buck, which should load it nicely. I'll post more videos if you guys like that sort of thing... The sound is great; the muffler is just an empty can, and I just opened up the exhaust port a bit and brazed on a larger deflector so it looks stock.

That thing needs a sticker!
