This is what's labeled on it. Other than aftermarket carbs, I can't find anything.

C1Q
S291B
4140/25C
630A

Any info on this, as in part number, kit number etc etc would be awesome.

That carb part number says it is on a Stihl. Stihl has exclusive rights to the OEM carbs and carb repair kits used on their products.

That is a Stihl only Zama carburetor for the HL45 and the FS38.

4140 120 0625 Carburetor
4228 007 1051 GND Kit
7010 871 0222 Carburetor Repair kit or CTS RB-161 (aftermarket supplier). CTS takes about month to deliver currently from Hong Kong. Probably will be longer with tRump messing with the postal system. And I only got 8 of those kits on hand currently.

You will not be able to get the Zama RB-161 due to Stihl barring Zama from selling anything that fits only Stihl units. That is a real pain as Stihl is charging 3-5 times the price that my Zama distributor was charging for the same kits. Plus the local dealers never have them in stock so they hit you with a shipping charge on top of that or they can't even get the repair kits.

Will this one one fit?

Stens 615-441 It says it replaces the RB-161 and the RB 100.

If not, I'll just have to get one of those cheapo's from Amazon.

According to the images it will work. Those on Amazon which are CTS have a delivery time frame currently of Oct 8 - 29

Yes, Stihl is having Zama to wipe info from their system since Stihl now has a controlling interest in Zama.

It is a shame that I have Zama offices within 50 miles of my location.

They're making it really easy for people to shop Amazon.

I'm thinking Stihl thinks they can control way more than they actually can.

Yes it is part of a sick plan to become the only retail outlet in the USA

Just curious . How much is the 4149 120 0600? The last price I had was $42.37. and CTS carb kit for it is $5.99 vs $20 for the Stihl carb kit.

Then I better order some RB-222 repair kits then. $6 vs $60 is well worth ordering the kits and waiting 2 months. Besides I need several RB-186 kits too so I am ordering 10 of each. Even selling them at $11 is better than having to pay $24 at the local Stihl dealer plus their $20 shipping fee then having to sell them at cost.
