echo 16cc carb?
 
what would u guys suggest i use for an echo gt1000 engine for a replacement carb? this thing has a TINY carb inlet. im thinking that an 11.11 would be TOO big, but i dont know if there is a middle ground, like a 9mm or something. i couldnt tell you what it currently has.

this engine is going to go on a carl goldberg anniversary cub, so worry not about it powering something huge.

I would say a 9mm carb would work fine.  I think that is what I used on mine years ago.

Good luck,

will the gas/glow fuel mix be ok with this engine being as it doesnt have a needle bearing on the piston pin?

anyone know a part number for a 9mm walbro

I think it will be ok.  The Gas/Glow mix ends up with about 32 to 1 oil ratio, which is probably close to what the engine was run at in its original application.

I was going to use a stock carb off of a homie 25 on mine... should be about the right size, and I have quite a few of them...
