Hi,
I have a homelite e195 model ut15050a and I would like to buy a Chinese knockoff carb kit for it but need to identify the carb on it. It is a walbro 455 I think.
Can anyone shed any light on this. The serial on it is hl2086402.

Thanks j

That would be our ST-485. A very good brushcutter, just nearly impossible to get parts for since Homelite has changed hands several times.

That particular carburetor has been discontinue for a number years but here they are suggesting using Walbro WT-458-1 to replace the Homelite PNs A03002 and A03003

As which Walbro you avtually in front of you the carburetor will be marked; hopeful engraved and not laser etched.

Are carb kits any good?

The carburetor OEM kits are as long you know what you are doing when cleaning the carburetor and installing the kits. I have tried any of the China aftermarket kits as I have access the OEM kits from my distributors.

I would some of the locals may have tried the AM kits.
