I have a Makita hedge trimmer (model EH760). I'm pretty sure I need to replace the carb. I've rebuilt it and installed new fuel lines and a fuel filter. I've also eliminated ignition problems.
On the body of the Walbro carb is stamped just "WYL" but that's a series of carbs, not just one model. I'm not sure which model I have but I did look up the Makita part number for the carb (5256008000). Doing some Googling led me to believe that 5256008000 is probably either a Wyl-41 or s Wyl-41-1.
I think the rebuild kits are the same for all WYL-series carbs (but I'm not sure about that.) Also, from the photos, I can't tell one WYL-series carb from another. :confused2:
Are all of the WYL-series carbs interchangeable? They look like all of them could bolt on but maybe the main jet would be different or something like that.
Does anybody know for sure what model (WYL-???) I should order?
