Yeah, but that is one bulky looking conversion on the 220... looks even worse when you see a walbro hanging underneath the OS 160 boxer... The glow carb conversion, working properly of course, I think is the better way to go... no diaphragms to service, virtually maintenance free... just need to sort out the tank pressure, and get rid of that crap trap.

Looks like a 3401 size - I wonder if its a material thing and they don't make the silver carbs anymore? Heat issue maybe??
Could be, but the black plastic ones are glass fiber re-enforced nylon... most likely just a color change, black looks better than the silver / grey... you would be surprised how much a company will invest in the appearance of their products, just a change in the color, can influence sales.
