Hello!
I have an IDC 31cc tiller in need of a carb. It was given to me and does run but not very well. I believe it sat 10+ years in a barn if that tells you anything.
A local lawnmower shop sold me a carb kit so I soaked in in Gumout fuel injection cleaner for a couple of days, blew out all the galliers and installed a new kit but it doesn't run any better. I was told once the pinhole galleries clog up there is no hope for it.
The carb is a Walbro and the number stamped on it is WT149A. I have googled this part number to no avail. Unless this is not the actual carb number but that's the only number I see on it.
The company IDC is supposed to be out of business but Walbro is still in buisness so why can't I find a replacement carb?
I'd kind of like to give it one more shot (cleaning) but if the carb sat for a long time and the galleries are clogged up is there any hope for it? Or is there something more powerful I can use? I've heard you can use a TIG welder cleaning tool to unclog these galliers.
Anyone know where I might be able to find a new carb or perhaps another carb that will work if this particular one is no longer produced? Thanks.
