I have a CRRC 50 GFi (don't laugh!) and the carb is completely worn out.

Its a Walbro WT951 - 805 but I cant find a supplier of one in the UK for love nor money.

Anyone know of anywhere worth trying ???

Given that a replacement engine complete is £230 its not the end of the world but its a cracking wee engine and it seems a shame to relegate it to parts for the lack of a carb.

Could also try Rowena motors in Bangor N.Wales - have a website detailing parts etc.

I have a walbro that was on a Zen 45. engine used for spares. I can't see a number on it, but if it's any good you can have it. The high & low needles are bent and need replacing, but if it's the same model just swap them over.

How is it worn out? Give me the hole centres, a zenoha one may do

Thanks guys - Rowena can get me one (eventually) but at £100 its a non-starter - a complete new engine is £230 !!

Falcon havent replied yet.

The carb body is so worn where the throttle spindle is bushed that its impossible to get steady idle and mixture settings. It's got a good number of hours on it !!

The mounting holes are 30.81mm centres and its the type that has a nipple for a pressure line from the crankcase for the pulse.

The numbers stamped on it are WT 951 and beneath that 805

Thanks for all your help.

Dave, I have had this problem over the years and the easiest remedy is simply to make a new throttle spindle and make it match the holes in the carb. It is not a long job and if you don't have
the means to do it yourself maybe you could get it done for you. Much cheaper than a new engine
or carb.
Tony.
