Hey! Thanks for the video! Say I may have missed it, what model Walbro did you install? HD12B? HD6? Did you do much research on the Zama C3 carb? I hear it has an accelerator pump but some people don’t like how it runs, others say it runs better because the fuel circuits inside are independent on idle versus main whereas the Walbro has them tied somehow. I haven’t yet compared the internal fuel circuits to see the difference. How’s it running now for ya? Cheers!

I just got mine yesterday and took down a small tree. It's a beast. I'm just a homeowner, but I've never had a saw like this. I've used smaller Stihl saws quite extensively. This thing rips. I set mine up out of the box, filled with bar oil and fuel, choked it, it crackled on the 3rd or 4th pull. I turned the choke off, one pull and bam she fired right up. It sounds mean too. I am very happy with mine. Thanks for the video!

The biggest thing I noticed between my Husqvarna and this one is gas mileage this saw uses I don't want to say twice as much but a bunch more gas than my Husqvarna. But it is more powerful and I was running a 455 rancher. But the chain tensioner in the pull cord mechanisms is junk.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I recently bought the same saw but is white with the carbon fibre look. Someone said it the the 'professional' model with a few different parts, I think a Walbro carb, nikasil cylinder and different piston ring(s). I have only run it for about an hour. The high rpm carb adjustment was too rich and once dialled in ran great. The oiler was way over oiling too. I turned this down quite far until it seems to oil as my other saws do. Time will tell if this is a good purchase. I'm running it with a 28" bar.

a real well done overview, thanks. I bought one a couple months ago, have yet to run it but I did a bunch of replacements to OEM or upgraded after market parts...the ones most mentioned on videos I watched that would likely cause trouble. The carburetors seem to be the most often mentioned failure point. I totally disassembled this saw and came away feeling pretty good for the apparent quality. Time will tell how the electronics and other stuff holds up. For the price I could not resist something else with which to tinker.

nice presentation, great camera views. I wouldn't worry about the carbon, doubt it will ever become an issue, it will likely get to a point of equilibrium. I can tell ya that too little oil will become an issue, which I am sure you already know. I have bought a lot of used saws...vintage stuff.....and some of them break your heart when tear down reveals galled up pistons and even flaked off cylinder plating and deep scoring and pits. Oh they are clean inside alright, one Homelite was shinny clean, amazing to see, but the entire cylinder and piston assembly was the worst case of trauma to an engine I have ever seen.

The old style front tensioner will be from a husqvarna 362 or real early 371. The plastic stealth around the throttle cabel will sometimes slip out of its little seat at the trigger, just have to push it back in with hemostats.

Some of the stihl clone saws with the decompression valve on the top of the cylinder, the black push button will break off and that holds the valve. When it breaks off, the inside valve assembly will fall into the cylinder and tear it up.
