Walbro vs Zama carburetor: tuning differences

Walbro vs Zama

Walbro: thicker diaphragm, less position-sensitive, K-series rebuild kits (12-18€). Zama: thinner diaphragm, prefers horizontal, RB-series rebuild kits (10-15€).

Both: H/L screws + idle T. L screw setting differs by ~0.25 turn.

Stihl M-Tronic eliminates manual tuning entirely.
