RE: Need help with Walbro Anatomy
Yes, that's exactly right. The #'s 1 and 3 are for the same thing; the crankcase pulse to the fuel pump in the carburetor. Usually, when a carb comes with that number 1 fitting, the number 3 is a "blind hole". It doesn't actually go through to the pump and the number one is used as you said to connect to a fitting on the crankcase.</p>
Number two goes to the fuel tank, and number 4 gets blocked off as it won't be used. It was for a primer bulb in the original application.</p>
The fuel tank gets vented to the atmosphere; not to muffler pressure. All hose fittings should be secured with twisted wire clamps or small zip ties, as the fuel hose will sometimes swell a bit when exposed to gasoline. If there are any air leaks in the fuel system, the fuel pump in the carb won't work.</p>
