Winderosa Gasket Kit for Walbro Carb Question

Post by Snowslider »

I bought a Winderosa carb kit to rebuild Walbro carb but notice its slightly different anyone able to help?

My Walbro WDB carb has the following gaskets I'm using the numbers and names off the tech info on the jdsleds site under walbro carbs
21 one circuit plate gasket,
22 one circuit diaphragm,
23 one circuit plate.

In the Winderosa kit there are two circuit plate gaskets one grey one brown I am thinking you just use both and stack them because it looks like the original circuit plate gasket is twice as thick but which one goes on first brown or grey or does it matter?

Thanks Darren

Try it, I don't think it is critical. I'm thinking I've used just the thinner gasket with the diaphragm, and it worked.
I honestly don't recall if there ever was another gasket in the kit or not.

Ok Thanks Matt I found a document on the web from Walbro themselves regarding the carb and in the diagram it shows two circuit plate gaskets so I am going to use both and see what happens. LOL

If it does not work guess I will take one out!

Thanks Darren

Hi Darren, I shot you an e-mail too but I believe in the past I have used both of them to replace the thicker gasket.

I saw the email too thanks. And yes one of the gaskets is slightly thinker than the other, the brown one, but the original one is about twice as thick as either of the new ones. So I am just using both and we will see.

Thanks for the replies.
