First Place Engines 2.4 - Replacement Carb?
I purchased a 1/4 Scale B-USA Fokker DR-1 that has a FPE 2.4 (40CC) engine on it. The carb will not draw gas so I was going to put a new carb on it. It has been sitting for several years. I am told the carb is obsolete and not made any longer. I am also told they do not make the carb rebuild kits any longer and there is no reference to a equivalent replacement carb to purchase.
It is a Walbro WT 106. They make a WT106-1 but not sure if it would work. Has anyone figured out a replacement carb?
I thought of putting a DA-35 on it but I would then have to cut a hole in the firewall for the rear carb engine to work.
I have thought of putting a G-26 on it as recommended by B-USA but it comes in at 20 Lbs which is 5 pounds heavier than B-USA says it should weigh so concerned about having enough power.,..
