QuestionQUESTION: John, the carb is on a Ryobi 31c tiller. Gas was leaking out diaphram vent so I got a kit, cleaned with spray carb cleaner, and installed the kit. The engine would start and immediately quit. fuel not getting to the H / L adj screws. I found the restriction to be at a small brass washer pressed in the body under the diaphrame. I think there's a check valve behind this. I couldn't get cleaner to go thru, so I pushed a small wire in and cleaner flowed thru. It will run high speed, but seems to be blowing bubbles thru the remote primer. Is it fixable??
Thanks Bert
ANSWER: Hello Bert:
>>From your Description it Sounds like you may have Damaged the Check valve.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Carburetor at this Site Addy, http://www.walbro.com/ and Select Service & Aftermarket. Now Select Aftermarket Parts and Service. Now use the Search by Walbro # and Locate the Carburetor Diagram.
>>This Carburetor is Obsolete and the Check Valve is No Longer Available.
>>The Replacement Carburetors Suggested for a Replacement are; 1- WT-340-1 and 2- WT-454-1 .
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.
