Walbro carburettor sizes.
In several of the engine conversion threads, Walbro carburettors are identified by the size of the venturi.
One size that I am interested in is 12.7 mm.
Can someone tell me what model Walbro carbs are this size please?

By looking at Gizmomotors site the WT 257,WT 1048 and the WT 771 must be the best carbs for an engine. https://www.gizmomotors.com/index.php/online-store

Jim, I take the easy/lazy way. I simply order a replacement carb for a like displacement engine from an R/C engine vendor. Example, a couple of months ago I bought an airplane with a 3W 70 twin. Even after rebuilding the original Tillotson carb I still could not get it to work correctly. I ordered up a DA 70 twin Walbro replacement directly from DA. Works like a charm and since I ordered it from DA I know I got a genuine Walbro carb and not a knock off.

Yes. I found a similar correlation which confirmed my choice of model carb for the OPS engine I have.
Thanks for the reply.
