For the price I agree but........................
The quality of the Chinese carbs is variable at best, some work fine, some will never fire up even after being stripped & rebuilt, I am covering my bases by fitting €8 inc delivery from China carburateurs and rebuilding the OE carbs with €3 diaphragm & seal kits, hopefully both will work but then I will have working spares for the beginning of next season if they gum up again during storage despite my best efforts.

The machines will likely need the carbs stripping and cleaning, probably new diaphragms & seals etc before moving on to fine tuning. Repair kits cost buttons & Chinese carbs buttons and a half, I have been fitting new carbs and rebuilding the old ones for next year, with modern Ethanol fuels its becoming a regular chore. I handed in a mcculloch strimmer just after lockdown it needed a new carb it took months for them to get the carb and cost 58 euros to repair so clearly cheaper buying the parts yourself and fitting it.

I've played the game. Bought a Chinese carb for less than the price of a genuine B&S rebuild kit. Money wasted. The carb appeared identical in all respects but some of the threads were different so unable to accept the fittings from the original. Retapping the threads and trying to make up lost ground with Araldite didn't end well.

Guessing like me you have a box of carburetors and fuel lines...
Interesting that my Husky chainsaw has never needed any attention. Maybe the extras money spent on quality products is worthwhile in the long run.

Like everything else you can have problems buying anything cheap as I do.

I get it Husky=Husqvarna
I was given one by my FIL who could no longer pull the cord due to heart problems, gratefully received as it was like new, I had used it once before but I thought I was doing something wrong as it sounded ropey and felt like it was working against me, so after he gave it to me I took it to the local repair shop to give it a service and they took one look at the spark plug and declared it a chinese copy. It looks original and was bought from a reputable shop by my MIL, so beware !

My big Husq has never been a problem either, except for a drink problem.
