(I will use no names here)

so I called Wallbro today but I didn't get to talk to who I really wanted to, I wanted to talk to an Engineer about burning Methanol threw their carbs, and I ended up talking to some other BigWig in the Engineering Department, well we ended up talking about the whole aspect of their carbs being used in our models engines,,, so to narrow it down to what is important to us Gasoline Burners,, "as I was told",, is,,

to start, Walbro Engineering does not make carburetors specifically for~ or recommend specific carburetors to Model Engine Manufactures,,

"He said", what these Model Engine Manufacture do is they read specs & pick & buy carburetors from Walbro's Aftermarket Division and they test these carbs, they decide on a cab that performs well but not the best,,

what that comes down to,, is,, most likely there is another carb that will make our engines perform better in some way or another,, rather that's better low-end, better mid-range response or more top RPM,,

so if you need better mid-range response or to get your engine over a 200 or 300 RPM hump it maybe worth it to you to call Walbro's Aftermarket Division and order the next larger carb, or a different carb that flows the same amount of air but flows more fuel,,



he also told me they make no carburetor in the size we use specifically for Methanol, here again the Manufactures pick a carb that flows more fuel, test it and go from there..

and, there are many Chain Saw Manufactures that will make a chain saw engine but have 2 different HP ratings for this engine, both HP ratings use the same carb, they change the HP by simply limiting how far the carb opens..


"Discloser Note",, as I said, all this is what I was told by this guy at Walbro, if some Model Engine Manufacture replies here and says something different I have no control over that..
