Aftermarket Carbs

zama hd clone?
Ordered a couple Zama 044-046 carbs off Ebay for $19 ea. Was
expecting Zama C3M type carbs but they were HD 16-17 clones.
Pulled them apart this evening and to my surprise the fit and
finish was impeccable.
Anyone know the story on these carbs? Zama embossed cover and
says HD on side of carb body.

cut and paste from my post in another forum, looks like they are
offering them for sale to others as well now
Dave
ok here is what happened
I have a couple saw projects that are going to builders
shortly.
I asked both guys what carb they wanted and both said the HD16
Walbro.
The aftermarket 044/440 carbs are all from Hunai and Zama
factories in China.
Sent my guy a NOS HD16 from the pre-limiter era.
They measured the jets etc and built a modern clone with
vintage sized internals and no limiters.
Just a matter of assembling the right parts apparently.
I am sending OEM NOS HD16s to the builders with the clones as
well.

I have heard good things about the aftermarket carbs for the
trimmers etc.
I was wondering if anyone has tried the aftermarket carb for the
tilley HS for 268 272 61 etc?
Feedback on chainsaw aftermarket carb also?

I have a WT copy and a HDA copy on my two Chinese clones, and
they have worked perfectly - with one exception: the check
valve failed on the WT copy in the Earthquake. Then again
that's what happened on almost every ZAMA C1Q I've had. I was
able to fix it by punching out a thin rubber disk from an old
emissions device. The check valve was a different size than a
real Walbro, and the carb had a fixed H jet in addition to the
needle. The casting quality was better than some Walbros I
have, and worse than other, but perfectly acceptable. For a
time I had swapped the shafts from the Chinese copy into a real
Walbro, but it didn't work any better so I put it back.
The HDA copy on my G621 clone has been flawless.

Good deal.
Dave at CCC said he was going to send me a HS for 268 272 to
check out and put on a saw that will be coming back in with carb
issues. Prices are right on them for sure $12.50. 8)
I was looking for feedback on the HS aftermarket carb but havent
found any yet. [member=2595]DefinitiveDave[/member] you have
any feedback on the HS carbs?

So you are a source for HD-12 clones? I took a sampling of
Husqvarna 372 AM carbs a while back from a variety of sources.
None were "clones" all had more obstructions there for less
x-sectional area.... be interested if that has changed.
