I stopped thinking about the Walbro vs. clone talk years ago. For me, there is no difference. My concern lies only in if the carb is right or not. If it's not right after a good cleaning and a kit, then I go get another one, and in my expereince, it makes no difference which one I get. I'm just as likely to get a clunker with one as I am the other. Nice and simple. Keep the complicated stuff for more fun - like how to improve your landings or get through that maneuver you're working on correctly.... -Al
