The latest one I bought:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genera...2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

It had no issues. Walbro clone.

One has to drill access holes for the jet screws.

Stick with USA source for sure.

EDIT: I think there is one for about $35 with shipping but takes a few more days on shipping

Helped my son put coolant in the Van this evening. The Van holds 7.5 gallons coolant altogether. This vacuum thing he has put every bit of the coolant into the engine before we even started it. Then we fired it up and let it thoroughly come up to operating temp and let it run for a good 30 minutes. Smoothest, quietest engine I've ever had.

That’s awesome! You’ll have you a good rig there! And yes those vacuum fill systems r a must for a lot of the newer chevy and Ford engines. Can’t do it any other way.

Amazon, that funky cover on factory carb will bolt on the chicom walbro style carb , dill adjustment holes in side of saw so you can adjust.

Here's a tip , take coil off and file the hole on it to add a little timing. Or file the key , really wakes them up

I've done 5 or 6 for people, gut muffler as much as you can as well .

I have 12 in bar on mine and I use it 95% of the time , it stays in a case in my Ranger

Also drill out tank vent and run hose to carb area and use sthil tank vent , that helps as well.

Did you get yours done?
Did you have to adjust the throttle rod?

I ordered another barrel of b/c oil awhile back & told Dale to just drop it at the shed whenever no hurry. He called yesterday & said they don’t sell them anymore because there was a lack of interest in them so he sold me a pallet of cases for the same price. I guess I won’t complain, it was delivered. I was hoping to catch the fall oil/grease sale but they weren’t having one this year.

The easiest way is to use wood screw in the throttle trigger behind the rod .

Works

Yes. No. Direct fit. Had to switch the top plate of the carbs. Interesting, the top of the old carb fit on the new, but not vice versa.

Done!!
Test drive tomorrow evening.

The 215’s are good carbs..

Because the guy that designed it doesn't have to work on it.
