Thks Dave.  You think the Farmertec/Hutzl plastic (tanks) are decent quality?

I bought a bunch of China made Stihl carb boots and fuel/impulse lines recently and the quality was very nice.

Also noticed some of the new Zama carbs on ebay had the zama name machined off of the diaphragm cover and they were being sold cheap as "copies"

I have had great luck with the tanks for MS660, MS360, MS260 (except the tank vent which ALWAYS leaks, even though they sell a replacement that is perfect), MS361, MS250, MS290 (pretty damn expensive though on that model, but I consider it an upgrade from OEM actually) and have sold a ****-ton of the 372 tanks though I never used one myself.

About10% of the 361 tanks arrive with the sole-plate popped off but it hasn't really been an issue, it is there to add a little rigidity and they admit they install with three drops of superglue :)

As Stihl shifts more OEM purchase orders to shops they own entirely and away from the franchise type Zama shops I expect to see more and more of them taking custom vintage orders on carbs like the 260 and 440 that I have had done.
Most of them literally have crates and boxes of every part needed to assemble virtually any carb from most brands complete with molded logos but contractually remove logos to avoid paying a fee to a competitor of sometimes 200%.
