I'm sure glad they changed the design of them to what they are now days.  Lighter and better handling to run for tanks at a time. 
I had a husky one like this (somewhat).  Twisted the wrist.

At my wits end with the WA219C carb on this thing. Cleaned and rebuilt with new kit etc. Only thing I didnt do was use a ultrasonic cleaner on it.
 So I looked through my spare carbs on hand and found a WT off a poulan pruner trimmer powerhead.    Looked real close and could redneck it to work in my mind.
Differences I could see was the WA used choke external and separated from carb.  The WT used a choke in carb with manual turn knob.  So I removed the choke from WT and then just slide back in bare pin (being I had no dowel on hand to use).  Some other small differences but workable.  WT has H L and the OEM WA only has 1 needle.
I bypassed the primer bulb and it works now anyways.
Now to run it by the owner friend of mine to see if ok with him.

Owner got back with me and said it is working fine with the rednecked carb set up.  Just glad it worked out for him.

I had a Stihl FS-55 whacker that something was wrong down inside the carb. I gave up and put a new carb on the thing as Stihl's carb are not too expensive for some models.
