yes, i'am seriously considering replacing the carb. no adjust. on this carb.

If theres no adjustment on the carb then those are chokeless type that are not rebuildable. If it were me I find out to see if Echo used different model carb that has the H, L, and Idle screws on it. I have 2 FS46 that have the chokeless carb and replacing both with different model carb after trying to rebuild one with no luck.

I know I;ve done exactly that more than once. if these carbs can't be rebuilt why are there lots of rebuild kits on the market?

I thought of something that might answer my own question. you can buy I rebuild kit for my carb. problem is, there is no way to replace the valve seat.


is there not a screw that holds the little pin for the needle valve ...Post a pic man
