This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part used on Husqvarna trimmers and brushcutters. The purpose of this part is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine.
If the engine won't start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem.
This is a metal body carburetor, it is sold individually. When replacing carburetor it is advised that you also replace gaskets to ensure proper air tight seal for optimum performance. You will need a screwdriver to perform this repair.
