ill do a few more searches on here. Ive ordered a rebuild kit for my ryobi from a guy that runs a small engine shop....maybe he will have something that i can use.
i had another shop that i went to for parts, and now when im looking for an engine or carb, he always asks whats wrong with the first engine i got from him. i tell him each time i check to see if any used are around that its for a different airplane. it seems that he doesnt believe me and he is starting to be less help to me, so i dont go there anymore........Hell, after tinkering on my ryobi and reading posts here, im getting a little better knowlege of these engines than he does!

Almost forgot! where do you guys get your carbs for these engines? ive only got a Walbro WT149A for my ryobi and need a bigger one! (this one is only 20/64) does anyone here have a used one they could sell to me? Both shops around here are WAY overpriced and its hard to find anything used around here. I thought about running a wanted ad in the paper, but that might be a little desprate
