I dont think theyre very common, but Walbro shows a WJ-40 applicable to a 61. Was your saw made in Eastern Europe or Sweden? Look under the manufacturer HVA subsection saws, http://wem.walbro.com/walbro/produc...um=WJ-40-1&GroupName=Saw&FamilyName=HUSQVARNA
The tag say's Sweden 1983 week 36 Thank you Bob.

The HS-163 was the most common carb on those, but there was a Walbro that was used as well. I don't remember the model number, but it had the same 15.9mm venturi size as the HS-163.
The 61 didn't get a larger carb before 1991 or so, around (or maybe exactly?) the time they became "orange tops".

That wasn't the one that sometimes came on the early 61, that was the WS-17 http://wem.walbro.com/walbro/product2.asp?Series=WS&partnum=WS-17-1 (looked it up since .last post).
However, the WJ-40 is listed by Walbro as compatible.
Thanks' Niko

I got a walbro that came off a 61 not sure what the # was I will look and try to post tomarrow.
I just went through one and returned it to the owner this weekend. I don't remember what model carb it was but it was a Walbro.
I had a hard time finding a rebuild kit for it locally. I finally bought one off eBay.

We do of course not know if that carb was the original one on that saw.
Nothing really will surprice me regarding which carbs are on used saws.

Howdy,
Treat the air filter with loving care because they've been hard to find for quite awhile.

He must have a really good supply because they haven't been available for at least 15 or 20 years.

Long dead thread, I know, but i have a 61 rancher practica white top with a walbro ws 17 b carb. I've been having issues with it bogging down and sometimes even stalling but only once it warms up. For example, make the first cut on a tree and halfway through the second notch it starts bagging down if i hold it wide open. Almost seems to be at full throttle when i have the trigger halfway depressed, once again only once warmed up. I figured a carb rebuild never hurt anyone, but now im wondering if i should swap the carb for a bigger or newer one. Also could the issue be a coil? Any info would really be appreciated. Thanks.

The coil is certainly a possibility.
sounds like crank seals or air leak after warm up
check av buffers for excessive movement
