Makita Genuine 168849-5 Carburettor For Makita Ea3201s/ps32 Chainsaw

From the power tool accessories > spare parts range:

The Makita 168849-5 is a genuine OEM carburettor assembly for the EA3201S and PS32 two-stroke petrol chainsaws, designed to restore factory starting, idling, and cutting performance. When a chainsaw begins suffering from hard starting, unstable idling, hesitation under load, or poor fuel economy, a worn or contaminated carburettor is a common cause. This genuine Makita replacement is manufactured to the original OEM specification, ensuring correct fit and performance without the compromises that can come with pattern alternatives. It interfaces directly with existing throttle and choke linkages and fuel lines, keeping installation straightforward with standard hand tools. The unit features a compact die-cast aluminium body with composite diaphragms and seals suited to small two-stroke engine duty. Diaphragm fuel metering delivers a stable idle and smooth throttle response across the rev range. Once fitted, the carburettor is designed to be tuned to the saw for optimum running in all conditions. Suitable for both professional contractors and domestic users, this part is a practical choice for restoring consistent cutting performance and fuel efficiency to either a well-used daily workhorse or a seasonally operated saw.
