Three walbo carbs later, all need a kit that I don't have, and ended up with an aftermarket carb that worked. Probable do better with an OEM carb but you got to use what you got.

I’ve tossed more 372/1128 stihl walbro HD’s into the parts bin than any other carb this year. The low speed circuitry gets fugged up somehow. Tried a kit... almost everything. Grab another carb and the saw runs beautifully.... weird. Would be interesting to know the fix cause they are good carbs when they run good.

Two those carbs had something wrong on the low side, one I could turn it all the way in with no change.

I’ve noticed a few from MS 460s that did that. I figured on removing the Welch plugs and cleaning out the transition holes to see if that did it. But the zama doesn’t seem to have that problem

I like the Zama carbs on a 372, I don't know how they would do on a ported saw but they do fine on a stock one. Up until a year or so ago you could get new ones for around $30 shipped.

But them days are gone.

Now when you find one they are crazy high

It was built by a Husky dealer/welder/machinist and never finished, was inherited by his nephew and now more than a decade later hew would like to see it finished. No easy task.
custom 2100 cases, intake and exhaust mounts, bored to 60mm un-plated cylinder, Dolmar 166 crank, clutch, flywheel, Mikumi 5B NOS carb, 288 tank handle assembly

That's some hardcore saw building right there and possibly a great recipe if it gets finished. It sounds like the jug need plated, engine needs timed, ignition needs dialed in and mounts fabricated, cases need finish machining and powdered or painted, intake for the Mikuni needs set-up and mitered out, and which ever piston is fitted would likely need some machining as well.

Isn't that what I said? [emoji6]

 

[huskyboy]

Why are u holding the dogs/the saw away from the log?

I wanted to retest in a different piece of wood to see if there was a difference between not using the spikes and using the spikes out of curiosity.

Nice Mason.

Be careful...the mob gonna gang up on you...
