Understood!
What you need, is an equivalent to your current carb Stihl M-tronic carb, or one at least compatible to your engine.
Since Stihl uses a different bolt pattern from Walbro, you will need to do some modding here and there.............
I don't expect the bolt pattern to be too much of a problem as my carb insulating block(s) is/are hand made; I can simply make another one with carb bolt spacing to suit..
Mind you, you still need a TX with good curve programming functions, and you still need to determine those curves yourself.
I have OpenTX transmitters that will solve that.

Thanks for the good replies.
