Default RE: SPE 40cc

I just looked on eBay and there are two WT540 carburetors so go get them:

There is also another carburetor (not the WT 540) for this engine at:

for $14. The diameter is smaller than the WT 540 but it should be ok for you to get an rpm gain.

You can reed a review for the WT 540 at:

For parts for SPE40 look at [link]http://www.himodel.com/engines/spare_parts_2156.html[/link]

You can download a good manual for the SPE40 at:

This is the Walbro site with a list of all the carburetors:

You can get a good ignition for $80 at:

He does not have them listed but he has them.
Another place to get the ignition is at:

You can always spend more money and get a CH but the ignitions that I’ mentioning they are excellent and have a very good reliable track record.

I hope this helps you
Take care,
Eric
