Update on the husqvarna. k760 I have put a new ignition module and spark plug the primer works well but it still will not start. If you take the plug out and look in side there is no sign of petrol the plug is dry I took the top of the carburettor off and it has petrol I have taken some photos so if some one can tell me if I have the diaphragm and gasket are right

Technically they all come from China granted, but buying the cheapie flebay, scamazon carbs is a very bad idea. I've NEVER seen one that worked or could be tuned correctly.
But keep fitting them please, this is one of the reasons there is a good supply of "spares or repairs" 2 stroke stuff out there cheap
If however you want to properly repair your stuff then rebuild the original carbs.
It’s not a china carb I bought it off ebay it’s a Zama carb as the man says I had it to bits today and it still prims but will not start still no petrol in the cylinder and plug is dry I put fresh fuel in the cylinder it starts then cuts out are the diaphragms and gaskets the right way in the photos just do not have a clue what to do next
From above could the problem be with the intake manifold and intake pipes. Not seating fully shut if the intake manifold and intake pipes are not seating properly would it be pulling air I will have to fix it some how and get rid. with the hire of a cutter and parts for this it’s getting a bit to much

The thing gasket has to be against the "block" body of carb. The thicker hollow gasket goes above that.
Do ensure to remove both needles and blow carb cleaner and compressed air through them to ensure clear. Then refit and set to factory specs before continuing.
The usual problem in carbs in my experience is blocked L jet passages.

It's the 2x mixture screws that you remove for cleaning its easy enough to do just count the turns to closed before removal so you can set them the same as before. If there are any plastic anti adjustment caps just break them off

This is what I followed from a you tube video to get it running and from memory this works well
