Status: offline 		I wonder if anyone had a good recommendation for an online source for Walbro carb parts, I need a few diaphragms, some have dried up on the planes.

Status: offline 		I might be interested in the 10 packs online, I have multiples of the same engines. I haven't ran across that before.. any chance you recall a vendor?

I will search some more, but so far I had found single kits, and was looking for the diaphragms..

addendum

ok, I did some searching and found the multi pack kits, they appear to have a different part number on them than the carb body, will the part number be on the old diaphragm when I pull it out? or is there a cross reference chart for the parts numbers used in each carb?

Any help is much appreciated...I don't think I have a single old diaphragm laying around to look at... I will take one apart when I get a chance...and see.

Status: offline 		the only difference is the carbs with the primer bulb on the regulator side have the pass through port on the gasket, other than that all the WA and WT regulator diaphragms are the same.

Status: offline 		there are 2 diaphragms used in WT,WA

pump diaphragms and metering diaphragm, no such thing as a regulator diaphragm in these carbs.

2 bucks each? I get them for half that.

Thanks,

Status: offline 		Are the ones you get for half the price of the ones in the link above,Walbro ones or aftermarket ?I've found that the aftermarket ones don't last as long.
