SylvanLakeWH 32,757 #1 Posted Friday at 08:56 PM I have a B-80 with a Walbro carb. Picked it up non-running and got her going... carb is now leaking, primarily from the bowl... Trying to find a rebuild kit. Checked with K&B - no go. Anyone have a source / link? I am told there were three different brands for carbs with some years ago to year switchovers... Appreciate any suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be sure to get one from a comparably sized engine - there is a 2 digit bore ID cast in behind the choke plate up top - the higher the number, the larger the bore & airflow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 32,757 #11 Posted 3 hours ago Update Fiddled with the rubber gasket a bit when I had it off to measure, readjusted and tightened it up and also tightened the fuel pump screws a bit. Seems to be holding after a cruise around the hood... still plan to rebuild but for now it's tight... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
