Product Overview
A backpack blower that has to be nursed with the choke, bogs when the tube is loaded, will not idle, or leaks fuel may have stiff metering diaphragms or blocked passages. Fuel lines, tank venting, spark arrestor, compression, and intake leaks should be checked at the same time.
The C1Q-S183-style carburetor gives these professional blowers a complete replacement metering assembly. Stihl used several closely related C1Q versions, so read the stamp on the original carburetor and compare the primer, throttle, choke, and mounting layout before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does my BR600 run only with the choke on? A: Restricted fuel metering is possible, but a cracked fuel line or intake air leak can cause the same symptom.
Q: Is C1Q-S183 the only carburetor used on these blowers? A: No. Compare the stamped C1Q number and the Stihl assembly number.
Q: Should the spark arrestor be checked first? A: Yes. A blocked arrestor can imitate fuel starvation under load.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
