If you dont have any luck elsewhere Ive got a WT 76A Walbro plus some others that have the same 13.49mm venturi and 34 jet.
A friend of mine gets Walbro factory take-offs that I go pick thru from time to time.
What happened to the original carb??

The tuneability (sp?) has been getting erratic of late; now the low speed needle is in all the way and it's still too rich. The filter is clean and I blew out the passages; I don't think there's any gunk in there. I have an identical carb on my A&M 2.6, so I swapped them and now the engine runs again! The needles even make a difference. The 3.2 is as old as dirt; I'm assuming the needles or their seats have become sloppy with time.

go to walbro.com and get the rebuild kits. 2 of them at @5 each
Did mine and it works good now, just have to readjust.
do search for wg7a model type

$$ ???
Sorry have no Idea how much, when I worked there they were about $30-$40 dollars. I do know you need to tell Gary or Harvey what model engine you need one for. Old Style AM or new style cantilever crank, it makes a difference as to what linkage you have.
Good Luck

Do you know what there shop rate is if I send it in. I am more inclined to have someone fix it to know that it is right than for me to try and it dies and I total my plane!

Shop Rate
I just had my 2.4 over hauled and updated and the shop rate was like $40.00/hr rarely do they ever go over that. Call em and talk to Harvey or Gary. Harvey is the dad and Gary is his son.

The engine would start but would die when the throttle was advanced. I made all kinds of adjustments but could not get my engine to run right. It would idle but not run above half throttle. A loose muffler was the final problem. I tighten it and sent the needles to the original setting and it ran just great!
