Is that a Chinese wt-215?

yup. and it's supposed to accept the walbro kits. I haven't needed to do any rebuilds, and haven't opened any of them up to have a look. on the first one I decided to just toss the carb on (as most 'homeowners' would) and see how she ran. haven't needed to remove any of the carbs yet.

I should note that I stuck with the regular diaphragm cover that came on the carb. so I needed to seal the circuit in the filter housing to stop dust getting into the clean side of the filter. I just used regular clear silicone. easy to remove later for whatever reason.
when I grow up, i wanna be an adult.
