Does anyone know the specs for a WT463 or WT391?
 
Hi

Does anyone know the specs on a Walbro WT463 carb? Venturi size, where the pump inlet is (ie. manifold or crankcase) etc. Will they run on a Homelite 25cc and 30cc? I have been offered a new one for $7!

Hi
It is a 13.49 venturie. a little bit to big.
Here is the walbro site to check out carbs.

That carb is no longer available from Walbro. The venturi is 13.49mm and the intake should have a cast number of 34 which means the intake is 34/64ths of an inch in diameter. Seems a little large for your engine. For the many 44 and 50cc engines I have done I used a WT-201 which has a 13.4mm venturi. I would be looking for a carb in the 10 to 12mm size. On engines that size I have done I have used 11.11 mm carbs with great success.

Just looked at my 61cc Echo twin and I used the WT-201 on it as well.

That one has an 11.11mm venturi and should work fine. Are these carbs NOS or used? If they are used you need to add in the cost of a rebuild kit. Sometimes you are better off buying new.

Thank you!

These carbs are NOS but without box and the WT391 is only $6! For that price I think it's worth taking a chance. What do you think? He has 147 of them in stock so if anyone wants one?

NOS for that price is a deal. Where are they located? I need a few.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! I don't mind giving out links for cheap stuff I find to help people who can't afford it or to save everyone a bit of cash but if I send you the link for the cheap carbs please don't buy to re sell on ebay for profit. I have seen allot of people doing that and it's ruining ebay! That Homelite blower I bought from Homelite for $49.99 for example I have seen at least five different Ebayers buying these things from Homelite and re selling them for $80+ It's not nice and everyone just ends up out of pocket. I know people have to make a living but not at the cost of everyone else.

OK rant over!:D If anyone else wants cheap carbs let me know and I'll send you the link.

Rich & Tim,

Rich, please send me the Link! Tim, I have a WT-324 that I cannot get to run on my Homelite 25. Part of the problem is the twister carb adapter has a smaller opening than the rear of the carb. It allows air in due to the design. Is there a Walbro carb that has the 11.1 mm venturi, but has a smaller opening at the rear (throttle bore)? The WT 324 has a 16 mm opening.

Any manifold I make has the bore matched to the bore of the carb and gasket being used. I am not familiar with a twister manifold but understand what it does for the throttle linkage. Can you bore the manifold to match the carb?

Thanks for the link and I do understand the buying to sell agenda. I sold someone here two new short blocks for what I paid for them and he relisted them on eBay for a tidy profit. I did send him a nasty gram and he won't do it again via me.

Hi Andernamen

I think it would be easier to try another carb! If it doesn't work you could always put it back on ebay and sell it for a profit! lol! :D No really, joking aside, I haven't seen these manifolds but I was thinking of ordering one for my engine so let me know how it fits on the WT391.

Thanks

That guy on e-bay is kind of high with his shipping. That's one thing you always have to watch out for on e-bay; guys making a profit on high shipping "charges".

But even so, this one is a good deal. I got 13 carbs coming for $64.00. Five bucks a carb is fine with me!! :D

Yeh I know! but for $12 all in I couldn't complain! Hey leave some for me!:)

On the shipping note, yeh tell me about it! A couple of months ago I bought a clock mechanism for a grandfather clock from Texas, it weighed with the box about 10lb and the guy charged me $10 postage! Yet I saw a pocket watch for sale less then 100 miles from here and the woman wanted $12!!!!! For a pocket watch! I just love it when they charge $10 for postage and the post office note on the box says $5! lol!

That's the very first thing I check when something interests me on e-bay; how much the shipping is going to be. I've seen items sell for $15.00, but then have $50.00 shipping!!

I sold a few things on e-bay a while back, and I put in large bold letters, "Actual shipping costs only." For the most part I stay away from e-bay though, as that "sniping" thing really aggravates me. I wish they could figure a way to prevent that...

Yeh I know but unfortunately the things I buy ie; for clocks and stuff I can only find on ebay!

I'm glad the carb thing was of help to you though.
