Need some Professional help here.

Got an 088 that I rebuilt. Lost the spring for the needle lever. Found one in the spare parts I have, but I am not sure if it is right. Carb holds pressure, but I would like to put the right spring back in if I can find one. Carb is a WG-13 Walbro. Rebuilt it with a K11-WG kit and if I remember right it comes with a small spring, but not the large one. Any place I can get just a large spring? My problem is it dies when I lean it forward. As if it gets a ton more fuel. Lowering the lever doesn't seem to help any.

It sounds like your pop-off pressure is too low- http://www.elpasoparagliding.com/PP...cenotes/walbrowg8/popoff/pop-off-pressure.htm

You can get some of the springs individually on ebay- http://www.ebay.com/p/Genuine-Walbr...eedle-Lever/1954510453?_trksid=p2047675.l2644

Thanks! I will look into that!

BTW, the link to pop-off pressure has changed. Here is the correct URL: https://www.southwestairsports.com/...cenotes/walbrowg8/popoff/pop-off-pressure.htm

They changed their name from el paso paragliding to southwest airsports a few years ago.

You should be able to use a Tillotson spring from an HS series carb. Here’s a pic of a spare WG12 carb I have.
