Does anyone know the correct Walbro carb for a FS-85? Rather not go with a Zama.
Carb on it is a non adjustable carb and it needs to go.

I've used 2 of the clone carbs that I got from Russo Power on both my FS85s. Fully adjustable and run great right out of the box $15.

I've put a boat load of the fs 45/55 Zama carbs on the fs80/85's. They work good, and for the price it's hard to beat.

When I was looking for the walbro the wt264 is actually off a older fs 75. They work good too.

$60 dollar walbro or a $30 Zama?

I have had really poor luck with Zama carbs. I'd rather pay double and not have to worry about it. YMMV.

Call me crazy but this 026 pro carb looks close enough to fit a weedeater if swap the throttle linkage and top and bottom carb covers ,look at the size difference on the filter side .jug side is a little bigger ,looks like the throttle shaft will swap ,026 is a walbro ,one with bulb is zama weedeater carbs 002.JPG weedeater carbs 003.JPG weedeater carbs 004.JPG weedeater carbs 005.JPG weedeater carbs 006.JPG

You could say that about %75 of the carbs out there.
