You show two completely different carbs. The top photo shows a DLE clone of a Walbro WT series carb. The bottom photo appears to be a Walbro WJ series ... probably a WJ-71 as used on a 85 - 120 size engine. If the DLE carb is branded with with DLE it is not a Walbro and is indeed a clone. DLE has been supplying Walbro carbs on their engines for over 2 years now so unless an engine is old stock, it should have a Walbro on it.

Yes, the clone carbs had some issues but for the most part, they were dealt with in early production models and they were good reliable carbs. In one case, I prefer my DLE clone carb on a DLE85 better than a the Walbro WJ-71 .... and I had to fix a problem on that clone! But the clone still throttles better than the WJ-71. And yes, I prefer the genuine Walbro carbs in most cases. It is a better product than the clone but the clones really get a bad rap in these forums.
