I am looking to put a walbro hd16 off a ms 460 on my hybrid 024/034 build but the compensator horn will not fit in the 024 carb box. Does anyone know where to get a cover for it. Thanks

Any husqvarna HD carb will have the flat metal plate. So will the older 044/046 carbs.
If you still haven't located one by the time you get the saw finished then hack the horn down just enough to clear room. You'll be able to run it and dial it in while you wait on a better cover plate.

Remove plate, cut horn off flat, put tape over outside and fill void with JB weld. Then sand and drill a hole when it hardens.

You gotta cut and shorten the needles as well to fit the air box.

Awesome info, thanks for the idea. I will be trying the jb weld approach. It looks like I will have to do quite a bit of trimming around the needles as the casting sticks way out around them. I will try an AM carb first to see if the 460 carb is right for this build before I modify an oem walbro.

Later Model Walbro with Limiters have that Boss around them. The AM are modeled after the older ones.
