looking for a carburetor for a Home Light 25cc conversion. Would a WT 338 off of a g38 work? If not, what would make a good combination for the Home Light?

I used a WA-148

The ideal carbs for the Homelite in a airplane has always been one with a 17/16" venturi.

The Walbro versions will have a number 28 cast in the venturi entrance.

pls correct typo? 28/64 is 7/16"

Also known as an 11mm venturi carb. You can go to the "Parts and Service" section, then "Walbro parts lookup" section of the Walbro site; www.walbro.com, and check carb numbers you are considering there. It will tell you what size venturi they are if you have the carb number. E-bay can be a good source of carbs, or sometimes you can find a used one at your local small engine repair shop, and then buy a repair kit and rebuild it. They are prohibitively expensive to buy new; anywhere from $45.00 to almost a hundred bucks.

But remember, it MUST be a twin needle carb; that is a carb with two adjustment needles for the mixture. Many later model carbs have only one and are not suitable for use on airplanes.

I have a 167 carb that will wake up the homelite. I also have a nice stihl engine for sale that aviator did for me. It's a turn key engine,all is needed is a prop. I will make you a sweet deal on it.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary
with the current economic situation I an in I'm not aloud to buy airplanes, motors, radios, or servos. I am only allowed to buy small parts under $20.00 witch comes out of my $20.00 soda and snack allowances. Being broke sucks. I haven't had a soda in over a month.

I'll Sell the carb to ya for 15.00

Thanks rcairboater but I think I will have to pass for the time my girlfriend thinks I need to get the air conditioner fixed that carped out Friday

Some of the Walbro 20's are easy to drill out to 28. I have two that I did that work fine. You may need to increase the height of the metering arm slightly to get more fuel out and retune as normal. Cheap, easy and effective.
