Hy Guys,

Needs your comments, I just got a Craftsman blower, the engine is a 32, it's a rear induction engine with the muffler towards the shaft side. The engine would not start I noticed that it needed a new gas line, carb kit, and a carb to manifold gasket. I went ahead and replaced the worn out parts. I also noticed that the carb has only one screw for mixture adjustment. The other screw regulates the detent for the buterfly.

Is the mixture screw for hi speed mixture? How is the low end mixture controlled. The carb is a Walbro.

Is this engine easy to convert? Please help.

Thanks

if the muffler is on the shaft side of the motor then it would be in the prop arc and thats not good. Most, but maybe not all, walbro sigle needle carbs adjust both low and high mix at the same time. Works ok most times but just hard to tune it in just right, might have to live with a slightly rich midrange or idle to get full rpm at full throttle. OH WAIT!!!! I just thought of something. Some of my weed wacker motors can have the jug turned around and its porting still lines up, you might be able to unbolt the jug and put the muffler above the carb, tighten it back down and be good to go. Let me know. Piper

This is a ryobi 31cc. craftsman blower might be similar.
