Welch plugs

[jeff w 4]

Looking for Welch plugs for Walbro carb (WHL) 8hp Kohler. Any info appreciated!

What size?

[jeff w 4]

I don't know, although it's a WHL-16 stamping on it

[jeff w 4]

Possibly 5/16, or 7.9-8.0mm

I don't have any here that small. There's a place in Washington state if I remember right. Mike's carburetor. Google search that and measure your own plugs carefully and give them a call.

Measuring the hole might be better than trying to measure a plug that has been wrecked when removed.  Calipers would be best but if you have a good drill set you may be able to use that as plug gauges.

Thanks for info! I've decided to put in ultrasonic bath w/current plugs in. Have talked w others who have used that method w/excellent results. I shall find out....

Odds are good that'll be fine.  I've cleaned at least a couple dozen carbs that way.  

I run them through the ultrasonic cleaner at least 3 to 5 cycles.  Often more.  

 

When you're done with the UC - spray a whole can of brake cleaner through all the ports and orifices every which way but loose.

What is your preferred solution to use in your ultrasonic?
