I would buy the aftermarket carb, but after having seen this video, I will now also check the operation of everything, including the choke release. This problem might just be uncommon, so I would return & try again with a replacement, unless it was urgent. And I was very impressed with your skill set in figuring out the reason and a work-around. In the end, this was a big success, congrats.

The tiny spring on the throttle shaft is used to retain the throttle rod in the throttle arm. Your pictures show the throttle rod resting on top of the straight end of this spring. The straight end of the spring must be hooked over the throttle rod, which holds the rod down and prevents it jumping out of engagement. In other words, lift up the tiny spring end with tiny pliers, place the rod in the arm (push it down), then hook the spring over the rod. This requires a a lot of patience.

I don't often go for the "cheapest" aftermarket carbs. I do like HIPA, Huztl, and I've used a couple others that have proven to be decent enough. I try to rebuild the OEM ones first, and if that doesn't work, then I go aftermarket carb. This is for the quality products, like Husqvarna, Echo, Stihl. For the other brands, I'll still try to rebuild if I have the kit already on hand. If not, I just go right to aftermarket carbs. I generally buy in bulk from a Chinese company that has quality products, and try to keep about 8-10 different rebuild kits for 2 cycle carbs.

Great job getting that carb to work, it's well worth it to have a saw in good shape like that running. Equipment is only going up in price so that kind of fix is a good plan. 👍👍👍👍

in this case, in answer to the question, I would probably get the Aftermarket carb for MY saw/equipment, but if it was for a friend or a "Customer", i'd definitely go the OEM route. It "may" work for a while and be fine, but if there's any kind of issue with it, they're gonna be bringing it back. Good lord though, the price of OEM stuff is ridiculous! it's insane how much parts and everything have gone up with the ridiculous inflation rates we're having! Great video IHG!

you make a good point, the only issue is that if they let their saw get this way, when it was new, it's going to get that way again, no matter which carb you put in there. I admit the an OEM carb would take a bit longer to go bad vs an aftermarket one though.

I had to fix my snowblower. I was given it because "it never ran right". You had to leave the choke on partially, or it would die. Some idiot decided that a small engine would never need the mixture adjusted even in subzero weather. I found a cheap replacement from an older model with mixture screws and I now have the only snowblower around that actually runs right. No hunting, no stalling, and I would bet it pollutes less in the few hours you use it in a year than before.

I replied to him stating that it is not about the octane level but rather the fact that the 89 octane we are referring to has NO ethanol in it. I also said that if lower octane with no ethanol was available we'd purchase it. He still did not get the reasoning behind our choice of fuel. So, I ignored his comments.

I've had Husqvarna but not again, even brands under Husqvarna like Jonsered, in this case a single stage snow thrower. The Jonsered was ultimately traded in towards a new Cub Cadet 3X HD snow blower and replaced by a Honda HS35 because the paddles, which are consumables, would end up costing me $140 per season. The Honda in after market end up costing me less than half.

OEM parts only. If you're going to have top of the line equipment go with what it needs. Does the cost of the correct OEM carb equal having to buy a new Husqvarna chainsaw when the cheap parts burn up the one saw that you have now?? Going with cheap parts is about as bad as leaving old gas in it all winter long. Bad things happen sometimes unrepairable and or very expensive. Spend the extra money for stock OEM parts that are right , take good care of it, use fresh and correct fuel mix and you have a great and reliable piece of equipment that will work and last for generations to come.
