| Stihl FS-46 Aftermarket Carb | |
| By: 660magnum Date: August 13, 2015, 8:50 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Carb - Ebay $16.98 free shipping arrived 3 days after order | |
| placed all the way across the nation | |
| http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Carburetor-For-STIHL-FS38-FS45-FS46-FS46C-FS55-FS55… | |
| Was a Chinese generic with no name. Looked identical to the Zama | |
| C1Q-S186A in a side by side comparison. But there was no EPA | |
| stop tab on the HS NV! | |
| My experience in this North Central Ohio location, the Zama is | |
| $28.95 from the Stihl dealer. | |
| Early on last week the neighbor (83 yr old) and his brother came | |
| over with a dead FS-46 curved shaft trimmer. (4140 family). | |
| Older but lightly used. | |
| Was flooded - removed and dried plug and pulled motor through | |
| 15-20 times upside down with the throttle wide open and the plug | |
| out. Sprayed mix all over everything. | |
| Re-installed the plug and pulled through a half dozen times with | |
| the throttle on high idle and the choke off. No fire! Plug was | |
| covered in oil. Did this a second time with a new spark plug and | |
| it was the same story. | |
| Decided that the metering valve was not holding? I didn't check | |
| it with the Mighty-Vac 6500 on the fuel inlet. He had trouble | |
| with this whacker since new. | |
| Installed new aftermarket Chinese carb. removed and dried the | |
| old spark plug. Pumped the carb bulb until gas present. Fast | |
| idle - No choke. | |
| Started first pull. Ran rich until the old excess fuel burned | |
| out. Never adjusted needles. Ran it for a while and took it to | |
| owner. Started again first pull. | |

| Way to go. I guess when you have to the Chinese carbs get the | |
| job done. I am curious as to how long the rubber pieces inside | |
| the carb will last. Heck one pull you can't beat that. | |

| I've had some Emas brand Chinese carbs in the past that looked | |
| like Walbro WT's and I never had any trouble with them. | |

| You can get the Chinese carbs a lot cheaper than what I paid but | |
| they ship from China. | |
| I needed it a little faster than 3-4 wks. | |

| Guy in Cailf that sent me a bunch of oem parts for a cheap skate | |
| friend of mine. Fixed his carb by the way and wish I had just | |
| got one of these. | |
| But he says he buys these Chinese carbs in bulk for his trimmers | |
| used by his crews. | |

| It only takes about 7-12 days from China to USA now. Not 3 or 4 | |
| weeks. | |
