There is one thing that most people do not even think about, Walbro carbs are made for chain saws, Not model airplanes.

A chainsaw does not worry about a mid range, They are either setting and running at idle or being run wide open.

I think most of the engine manufactures have done a pretty good job using something that is made for one application and making them work for another.

So far I have not had a engine that i could not get to run rich enough on the high end, Getting good throttle response and mid range is the hard part.

There is one thing you did not think about. Walbro carbs are made for a lot of power products besides chainsaws! Capt,n

Very true, Weed whackers, trimmers, edgers, Blowers and so on, But they still were not made for RC airplane engines.

Now Walbro will design and manufacture one for any application if you want to spend the money to get it done.
