Walbro Carb

Post by Mustang1964s » Sun Dec 06, 2020 7:25 pm

Looking for a different carb to feed the touring Frontenac head.
My brother-in-law brought over a carb to try.
Not know anything about this carb I have a few questions.
Here are few pictures of the carb.
Are they worth a darn?
Should they be scrapped?

Off a Kohler engine, I believe.

So many great vintage carbs. Why not start there?

After a little more research.
I will pass on this carb.
Always heard of using a lawnmower carb on a T, I thought it was just a saying, or an old wise tale, it seems that some folks really do use them.

I have run a Walbro on my Funster and it ran good and strong but would run low on gas after a while, I think that if I put a fuel pump on it I would still be running it but I didn't want to put on a fuel pump so now it hangs on the wall.
