ANSWER: Hello Rod:

>>Sorry for the Delay. I have been Unable to Answer Questions Due to Health Issues. Thanks for Understanding.
>>When talking about the Carburetor on Most of these Small Engines the Type 1, 2, ect, does Not Include the Carburetor.
>>Most Carburetors are Build Basically the Same.
>>I am including the Site Addys for the 2 Most Common Carburetor OEMs. Locate the Carburetor OEM and then Locate the Correct Carburetor Model and use that Beakdown to Disassemble and Assemble the Carburetor after Soaking and Cleaning.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Carburetor at this Site Addy, http://www.walbro.com/ and Select Service & Aftermarket. Now Select Aftermarket Parts and Service. Now Select the OEM (Ryobi, Sears, ect). Now Select Trimmer. Now Select your Carburetor (WT-340, ect) from the List Provided.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Carburetor and Get Technical Information on Zama Carburetors at this Site Addy; http://www.zamacarb.com/tips.html and Select the Technical Guide.
>>If you Hit a Snag, have More Questions or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck

Answer
Hello Again Rod:

>>Remove the Muffler and Look Inside the Exhaust Port.
>>If the Cylinder and Piston are Scoured and Scratched, then
>>Purchase a New Saw.
>>The Cost to Replace the Piston, Jug and Rings are More Expensive than Replacing the Saw with a New One.
>>As Always, If you Hit a Snag, have More Questions or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.
