Default Walbro conversion for OS 160FX

I recently converted my 160FX to spark ignition. Now even though I managed to dial in the glow carb nicely with gasoline,
I want to know if I could fit in a stock EVO 26GT or MVVS 1.60 gasser walbro carb on it to benefit from the pumping action of the carb.

I'll be using 95 octane unleaded gasoline mixed with castrol 2T scooter oil (half synthetic) at 14% ratio. (about 7:1 gas/oil ratio)

It seems like I could use some readily sold parts for this conversion:

Carburetor Flange 26/35GT [EVO30941321]



Gasket, Carburetor(2) 26/35GT [EVO30941305]




Bolt, Carburetor 26GT (2)pcs. (1.6) [EVO30941307]




Nut, Carburetor(2) 26GT (1.6) [EVO30941308]



Washer(2) 25/35GT2 [EVO30941309]



Thermo-Isolation Washer, 26/35GT [EVO30941310]



Carburetor 26GT (1.6) [EVO30943224]



Will the carb flange directly fit my 160FX carb mount? the venturi, where the flange will sit, seems to be 15mm wide.

All input is welcome.
