Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Makita carburettor assembly for two‐stroke petrol chainsaws, supplied under MPN 168849-5. It meters and mixes fuel and air so the engine starts reliably, idles steadily, and accelerates cleanly under load. The unit typically features a compact die‐cast aluminium body with composite diaphragms and seals suited to small engine duty. It is engineered as a direct replacement for the Makita EA3201S and PS32 models, restoring factory performance when the original carburettor is worn, contaminated, or beyond adjustment. Suitable for professional and domestic users, it helps maintain consistent cutting performance and fuel efficiency, whether the saw is used daily or seasonally. Being a Genuine Part, it matches the original specification and interfaces correctly with existing linkages and fuel lines.
