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.
