The carberator is gummed up. Get a can of carb cleaner and use it liberally.

Tony, what your old carburetor had was a drain screw at the very bottom of the drain hose that's attached at the bottom of the float bowl. The new carburetor has the drain screw directly on the float bowl with an open drain hose attached. No worries, leave the old drain hose where it is. Leave old one bolted at bottom of frame. Just un-attach it from bottom of float bowl of old carb and attach old hose to bottom of new carburetor. You just wind up having a secondary drain screw, which is not a bad thing.

You probably don't have the correct carb. They usually are configured to fit right on...as is. But if you are stuck with it, you can easily modify the gas line intake. The fuel intake is pressed in to the actual carburetor casting and can be pulled out by twisting it with a pair of pliers or vice grips. I don't know where you are located but most shops or parts places will be able to sell you a 90 degree intake. You need to press it into the port. The normally don't leak. Hope that helped! Dave C.

Yes i recently purchased this carb. It was easy to install . Look up the carb settings. I started at 1 1/2 turns on low and high adjustment and fine tuned from there. Might want to replace fuel lines at same tlme

You should have instructions. It can be adjusted. See web site for details.

Ask to the vendor if can change it. The problem is with the engine. regards

Ibought a complete set of four carb. adjustment screw drivers. I purchased the "D", "Double D", "Pacman" and "Splined" screw drivers. So far they all fit various "ZAMA" & "WALBRO" Carburetors. The "D" shaped screw driver should work for you.

I'm not sure, I bought a used S&S manifold for the correct size bore for the carb

I would install the carb first to see if it will run ok. Then only adjust if u have unstable idle or live in a high altitude area

Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do. As I recall, the position of the slot relative to the body cannot be changed, it is spring loaded. I had hoped to install it, adjust the position by turning the body, and then securing it with the screws when I got the position right based on the idle, but I could not get it to work. The idle was too high and I could not bring it down. The local shop couldn't adjust it either, apparently they are calibrated together at the factory. I ended up having to buy a whole new throttle body assembly. Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do.

Have you adjusted the fuel mixture setting on the carb? May be too rich. It's on the bottom part, near the corner

If MAY work, but it is not designed for that engine. The adjustments are there for a purpose. You may not get satisfactory results when substituting carbs

try having the fuel mixture & air screws adjusted at a shop.... mine were screwed up from the day I got my saw...takes a special tool so I made my own...works great from then on!

After you install the spacer you might have clearance issues if your intake is raised. But if you're not having clearance issues with the existing carburetor you'll be ok. Just don't forget to add the converter spacer if you dont already have a square bore intake

The slot's as in the slots you make in the carb mixture screws to adjust them??
