Tanka ECS-3351 question

[nnero]

My 'lil tanaka has been giving me fits recently. It won't run off of choke, as soon as I give it gas, it dies. H and L are adjusted according to the owners manual (limiter caps have been removed). I cleaned the carb and inlet screen. Diaphragms look ok, no holes or tears but are a little stiff, so I think a carb kit is a good idea at this point, just to be sure and I am sick of tearing it apart. Every screw on this is Phillips and I have def been taking torx heads for granted lol. My issue is that I cant find a carb kit for it. I know its a walbro carb, just dont remember the number and Im away from home right now. Maybe I am being dumb. thanks. heres a pic of the little SOB.

Did you use carb cleaner or break cleaner

 

[nnero]

I used carb cleaner. I just opened up the H and L jets when I cleaned it, maybe I will remove them when I have it out again.

I have had bad luck with carb cleaner seams to dry up diaphragms gaskets

 

[nnero]

Interesting, I will keep that in mind. Thank you

i would say a kit will help.i believe those saws were on the shelf too long and the diaphrams stiffened up over time.mine gave me a little trouble after leaving gas in it for a few days.sometimes it works.sometimes it doesnt.

 

[nnero]

Hmm yeah that sounds about right. Think Im gonna leave work early so I can get the model number off the carb and still have time to stop by the dealer and see if he has a carb kit.

Got carb kit on the way home. Will update tomorrow
