Stihl MS261 Carb Kit

[RedFir Down]

I'm in need of a carb kit for a MS 261.
The carb is a Zama C1Q-S252. I looked high and low online and didn't find much.
I called my dealer today and they said you can only get that kit from stihl and it's $38. I them asked what a new carb would cost and he said they are $120.
So I'm not paying any of those ridiculous prices.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a Zama kit that would work in that carb?

I did notice that Dave @Definitive Dave has new aftermarket carbs for really cheap but I all but written off aftermarket parts.

Dave, have you had good luck with those aftermarket 261 carbs?

Thanks guys

Is it regular carb or mtronic carb?

Zama rebuilt kit RB-255.

Same kit for both regular carb and mtronic carb?

 

[DND 9000]

No as far as I know. Always difficult.

Thanks but I can't find that Zama even makes that kit.
How did you find that?

Is it regular carb or mtronic carb?

This is a non mtronic 261.

The 261 is kind of a slower seller for all parts but I have never had anybody complain about one of the 261 carburetors. order one and if you don’t like it I’ll give you your money back
I may have the oem carb kit in stock as well
Thanks
