I tend to agree but in this case there is a good chance the carb is serviceable with little work and perhaps no parts. If I replaced the carb, I'd probably buy one of the low cost Walbro carbs sold for engines like the DLE30, 35, EME 35, etc. A DLE20 carb would also be a good choice and having a slightly smaller venturi size, it might throttle better than some of the others. The WT-813 as used on the original Syssa was not one of my favorites. Valley View RC and Mile High RC are two good places to go for a replacement carb.Tower is a good source for parts also and the DLE carbs are all Walbro and not clones these days.
