I'm stumped. Walbro WA59 Carb rebuilding?
Hi guys,
I have a Walbro 59 (stamped in the carburetor), I'm putting it back together from pictures. I have a picture, not the greatest, despite being large, but it shows what appears to be some sort of 'plug' or 'cover' over one of the ports. I can't recall removing it, nor can I find it among all the parts in the container. So I'm not sure if it's gone walkabout or is something else altogether (screen maybe).
Originally I purchased this
gasket kit but found it was not 100% correct. Iirc it had a couple of gaskets/diaphragms I needed but was also missing a couple. I then ordered
this kit which seemed to be correct. Unfortunately neither kits have anything that will fit in that spot. The diameter appears to be 4mm.
Looking at an [
https://www.jackssmalleng...9-1/wa-59-1-parts-list]online diagram[/url] (not sure what the '-1' means after WA59), it shows a possible something (#23 in the diagram) but there's no link to it, so that something is unknown. :/
Anyone happen to have this carburetor or know what I'm looking at?
Also, I noticed the metal 'plate assembly' (see attached pic) has a hole in the top-left corner, but the diaphragm and gasket doesn't. Why would this be? Wouldn't it just be blocked by the gasket? or likely the same part is used in a different model carb where it serves a function?
Appreciate any feedback on this dilemma :)
