Non-Genuine Carburetor (Zama Type) for Stihl 017, 018, MS170, MS170C, MS180, MS180C

Check your throttle wire before starting your saw!	January 31, 2022
Reviewer: Gary Ouimet from Elgin, QC Canada

I replaced the carb on my MS 170 with the Non-Genuine Carburetor (Zama Type). Everything looked fine. Saw fired right up after few pulls, at FULL THROTTLE! Luckily I was able to shut it down before it exploded in my hands.
Come to find out that the throttle wire linkage was jamming between the carb body and butterfly link and not allowing butterfly to completely close!
After modifying carb body with a Dremel Tool, the butterfly now closes and my saw is now running!
Not impressed with this carb!
