Review on HIPA WA WT Carb Rebuild kit Gasket Diaphragm, Replacement for K10-WAT Carburetor by Fernando Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I saved my bacon on a Stihl chainsaw

I have a Stihl 024AV Wood Boss chainsaw that I bought circa 1988. Every year that I use it, I drain the remaining fuel from the tank and start the saw. dry. The original Walbro carburetor has lasted me 32 years without additional maintenance! This year, however, it's stuck and stalled whenever you've tried to load it or speed it up. I checked the fuel lines and impulse lines and then ordered this kit. Of course, this kit covers multiple carburetors and configurations, so I only used four pieces from this, but it was still (styling?) a bargain. Carburetor cleaned, new fuel membrane and gaskets installed and off we go. Starts on the first pull and runs like a spinning top again. The best part is that I got the parts I needed for a 30 year old saw the next day without spending a whole day driving to dealerships looking for an overpriced solution.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
