Just curious if anyone has a preferred "brand" of aftermarket carbs for their saws. I need to get one for one of my 036 saws. Since the OEM part is a ZAMA from China, I see no reason to spend $80-$120 on something that came out of China.
Best AM Carbs?

I put one on a 034/036 I done and works great. Let me go check which it was.
The tilley needed a kit and the zama I rebuilt was wonky so got afm and been perfect for years.

I've had a couple of the AM from ebay and amazon, and I've had mixed results. They were always listed as ZAMA carbs, but none actually were. I figured I'd ask the question and see if there was a specific AM brand that seems to hold up pretty good.

Just use same search words.
I would not assume one Chinese carb is as food or bad as the next. Chinese mtg will make a product as well as one is willing to demand. I doubt Husqvarna supplier quality engineers permit Zama to ruin their brand with defective carbs.
I've used some stuff including an AM carb under the "HIPA" brand with good results.
Some AM carbs work fine on some saws and some do not. It depends on the saw's model and brand. Sorry to say that, but that has been my experience. I am sure that is true for others as well. You win some and you lose some. That's life.
