Default 25cc toro carb conversion???

i have a toro 25cc motor that i need to find a useful carb for that has hi/lo needles for a rc boat.

the engine ID is a 51940 and it came with a trippy rotary carb that seems nonadjustable...

ill post pictures in a minute, if theres a better area to post this please let me know, i think the model airplanes might be a better area since ive found many of the toro motors become airplane engines.

thankyou everyone!

Facebook says that the content of those pages is unavailable.I'd think that the Toro 25cc is a better engine to convert to a boat than a 25cc Homelite ,because of it being a full crank engine.You could run it as is ,air cooled or get it water cooled and modified.As for a good carb, a WA 167 is popular but hard to find,but any Walbro carb with around an 11 mm venturi would work. Some people have used a carb with a 12.5 venturi on a stock engine and said it really woke it up. I had a 12.5 mm on a modded Homelite and it ran well.Also look for one with high and low needles. Look on Ebay and check the venturi size for the carb on http://www.walbro.com/parts-service.aspx Use the Browse by Walbro Number on the right side of the page.

I've never seen one of these carbs,but wonder if the Venturi could be bored out a little and increase it's performance.Some of the WYA carbs have a venturi of 10.5mm. I had a WA 167 carb ,that normaly has a venturi of 11.11mm,but someone bored out the venturi to almost 14mm and the guy I sold it to ,put it on a highly modded Homelite and he said it ran great.
