Walbro rebuild kit

Post by 75greenmachine »

Hello again!
I have been searching everywhere and I still can't seem to find a rebuild kit for the carb in my '75 300, so with winter approaching I figured there might be a few more members online who could help me out. Does anyone know where I could get a rebuild kit or is there anyone who would be willing to part with theirs? Any help is appreciated! :)

Thank you very much,
Liam

What model Walbro? If I remember right, I think it's a WDA. Those kits are available from Dennis Kirk #17-45. Should also be able to get them from Pat's Small Engine Parts, www.psep.biz, also I think MFG Supply may have them, www.mfgsupply.com.

It's a WDB-31, I have also been considering putting in a Mikuni vm34 instead.

So i am working on a 76 400 that has a WR in it. I got the rebuild kit, however when i opened it up there was a spring inside missing. The rebuild kit doesn't include any of these parts. I have not found the parts anywhere, anyone have any ideas? I'm missing one of the three little springs.

Thanks,

There are two kits made for Walbros. A gasket kit which is just the gaskets and a complete rebuild kit which has everything in it including a few parts that are not used in all carbs.
The big kit usualy runs $35-$40. The gasket only kit is like $15-$20.

Exactly what I need, but the listing has ended so it looks like I've got to wait a little bit longer.

It's more then likely the Windersoa kit. When the Walbro kit was available, it sold for $40-$50.

I see the complete rebuild kit on mfgsupply.com,http://www.mfgsupply.com/m/c/07-499-2.html but for the complete kit it says it fits a WDA-1. Mine is a model WR, will that one still work?
