FAQ

This kit is designed for Stihl chainsaws using the Walbro WTE-series carburetor on models MS311, MS311Z, MS391, MS391C, and various MS391-Z / 2-MIX configurations. The safest way to confirm fit is to match both your saw model and the number stamped on your existing carburetor.
This unit replaces Stihl part numbers 1140 120 0601, 1140 120 0605, and 1140 120 0600. It also functions as a direct replacement for Walbro WTE-9A, WTE-17, WTE-17B, WTE-16B, WTE-9-318, and Stihl part number 1140 120 0603. Match the original carburetor number on your saw before ordering, especially if your model has had previous fuel-system repairs.
Typical symptoms include hard starting, needing the choke longer than normal, stalling at idle, bogging under throttle, surging, poor acceleration in the cut, fuel leaking, or a saw that only runs briefly after priming. If fresh fuel, a good spark plug, and a clean air filter do not correct those issues, the carburetor or its internal metering components may be the cause.
The most common causes are stale fuel, ethanol-related varnish buildup, debris from a deteriorating fuel line, and restriction from a dirty fuel filter. On saws that sit for long periods, diaphragms inside the carburetor can stiffen and stop metering fuel correctly. Air leaks at the intake or impulse line can also mimic carburetor trouble, so those should be inspected during diagnosis.
For someone familiar with basic chainsaw service, this is usually a moderate repair that takes about 20 to 45 minutes. Typical tools include a scrench, Torx drivers commonly used on Stihl saws, needle-nose pliers, a pick or hemostat for fuel lines, and a clean work surface. Before removing the old carburetor, note the throttle linkage, fuel-line routing, and any gasket or spacer orientation so reassembly goes back the same way.
Yes. Since this kit includes service items, it is a good time to replace the fuel filter, inspect or replace hardened fuel lines, and install a fresh spark plug if needed. Also check the air filter, intake boot, impulse passage, and fuel tank for contamination. If dirt or old fuel residue remains in the system, a new carburetor can develop the same running problems quickly.
Not always. A carburetor can cause a no-start or start-and-die condition, but you should also verify spark, fuel quality, compression, and that the engine is not flooded. If the saw has spark but only fires on prime or with fuel added manually, the carburetor or fuel delivery system becomes a much more likely cause.
