Thanks for the input!

I'm fairly happy with the motor so far and I think it will work. I wish I was more mechanically inclined to cut away some of the 'dead weight' on the motor like
the mounting bracket, cooling fins, etc. but that would be opening another can of worms for me I think. The new carb I bought on ebay last year seems to
work great. I was going to buy another Walbro carb off ebay this year and noticed the supply of carbs dried up....I wonder why...
