Thanks guys,
I gave been looking through the Walbro data for thos carbs, but without very much luck.
The acc. pump probably is the answer to a lot of prayers.

I just found out that you have to add the dash after the WT before the number to get Order Tree to recognize the number. eg, WT-456-1
(WT 456-1 won't work)
QUESTIONS:
1. How do you get the plugs (item 11 on the illustrated parts diagram) over the needle out so you can adjust the needles.
2. Also, just what is a typical part number for the accelerator pump, on say the WT-456-1 carb?
3. On a carb with only the low needle, can you drill and tap the housing for a high speed needle?
Thanks

2. The carb body has to be made for the accelerator pump from the beginning. You cannot add one to a carb with no accelerator pump
3. Normally no because of the machining required. (Threads and the needle seat)

Thanks for the tip on the dash in the carb number.
There is no ryme nor reason to the Walbro carburator numbering system. It looks kind of chronological . The only way I can tell is to look at the parts listing for each carb and see if the accelorator pump part number is listed there.

I just googled Zama and went to several zama parts lists and made a list of various sized carbs with accelerator pumps. They have quite a few with accelerator pumps.
It is generally accepted here that Zama carbs are not so good for our purposes.
Perhaps we should give the Zamas another try.? I suspect there are a lot out there.

It was not a WT-456 that I have, and I will have to check the number, but, I have a walbro with large venturi, choke and maybe a fuel pump return spring, but, it has metal plugs over/instead of low and power needles. Can they be removed and are there needles under them? I have other carbs with just a low needle and a undrilled cored partial hole where the high needle would be. I understand they cannot be drilled and tapped for a needle. TIA

I guess you do not have anything to loose with those carbs with the blocked needles?
Drill a hole in a plug and pry it out and see what you have.
I've never done it but I've heard that some just have an orvice under the plug. At one time some models had a screw under the plug that you could adjust
I say that you have nothing to loose because a carb without two needles just will not work for model use.

I agree with that. Probably there is just a fixed jet though. Those carbs are made for very specific engines under very specific load, so they can comply to CARB (California Air Resource Board) regulations. Pun anyone?
The idle needle will influence the whole throttle range, but there is no way of adjusting the delicate balance between idle and high speed jetting, so intermediate throttle settings will be lacking at best.
