Zama vs Walbro

[scrench]

2-stroke wrench jocks,

I have read that some new Huskys come with Zama carbs and older Huskys have Walbro. Are Zamas a performance upgrade or just better for Husqvarna's profit margin?

Both

The Zama's do perform well and probably are a little cheaper for the manufacturer to buy.

I guess both reasons mentionned are a plus advantage for users and company,but since the 346 got a Zama on it ,the idle is much more stable,less prone to stalling running idle than the original Walbro .

As far as I know, the Zamas basically are copies of the Walbros, but their venturi dia is in mm instead of x/64"s, allways rounded off up to the next mm for the "same" size carbs.
