Sorry I missed the displacement in the title.

The engine is not big enough for a 18 X 8

Perhaps a 16 X 8 prop would be more to the engine's character?
Thanks w8ye

I need a new carb, any tip ? the one on it have a 11mm hole

Ant tip for a prop adapter ? do it myself or buy where ?
The definitive carb for these would be a Walbro WA-167 or a WT-499. They have a 11.11mm venturi, twin adjustment needles, but no choke.

At one time you could get these from Horizon but I don't know of a good source right at the moment. Horizon's search engine has been trashed by some "learned system" rather than a "key word system".

It is said that the WT-499 is a alcohol carb which is true but you can turn the needles down enough to run gasoline too.
