G38 Zenoah
 

Bought a NIB G38 older model with no choke. It has a Walbro carb. Are there parts available to add a choke or do I have to buy a whole new carb. Choking it my finger is not an option that works for me.

Thanks

Ace, could you post some pictures? I've never seen a walbro carb without a choke??

Parts can be ordered. Like Gordon, would like to see a photo.

Plan "B" stop by your local small engine shop. Our local saw/sled shop is a great source of carb parts, and rebuild kits. Buy a few pints of mix oil, they classify you then as a "Customer" with a need. Ha-ha.

Hope this helps,

Or Plan C - what I did.

I got a new old stock one, with choke, off eBay. Just made sure the venturi size etc were the same - can't remember the exact number, but there are spes out there to help with this. Google knows where. Cost me less than a new carb kit would have..

There used to be a G38 EI conversion thread that also referred to a Carb upgrade
a) suggested a Walbro (I believe it was a WT348 ) which included a choke
NOTE: This same carb allowed for a straight throttle cable connection. You no longer needed a bellcrank

I believe a search for Zenoah G3 EI conversion and possibly include a check for BCMA engines might present the thread

Thanks for the input guys. Reading more on this engine there is "Tatone" accessory choke for the G38 Zenoah Quartz. I like the small engine shop idea and will follow up with them as well. I am sure, with the info provided, that I will sort it out.

Thanks

Here in High River I have a fantastic small engine shop. The guy is so knowledgeable that you just give him a vague idea of what you need and he pushes the parts across the counter and says "these will fit".

And they do ...............

Hey Dad.....Hows the weather down south? Keep the 38 for the Moth I have in the garage.

Hey Sukhoi Guy:

85F today. I bought a plane from a club member here with an almost new HB .61 with Perry Carb. Having some trouble getting it to run...fuel gets to carb but not getting INTO carb. I remember the Perry as being a very free flowing carb so I will try a couple of more things. The last time the engine ran was in 2011 when Clarence Lee checked it out. He said it was a very nice low time (less than 1 hr) engine.

Cheers

Ace (Dad)
