Hello All - I am looking for a direct replacement for this carb. Is there a Walbro replacement? If so, could you please provide the model number? Thank you in advance.

Walbro WJ-71-1
This is the model used in most 100-120 CC engines.
I replaced my DLE carb in my 111 with it and it works well.

Boom. And there you go. That’s why I love this forum. Thanks guys.

So, one more question - where is the best place to get one of these? When I do an internet search, it worries me that it seems like there are several versions, some of which might not work for our purpose. Maybe it’s just bad product pictures or something. I just want to make sure what I buy is the right style.

If your not sure,then just get one a DA.

Do they sell them? I looked on their website and didn’t see carbs listed. I’ll give them a call.

DA is probably one of the more popular sources for the WJ-71. As an option they even offer some nice throttle and choke arms. Mile High RC and Valley View are also good sources among many others.

Crap. I’m an idiot. I didn’t look under “parts and accessories” on their website. Got it. Thank you.

Time to see if I can light a fire under this DLA......

Yeah. That worked.

DLA 112 - First Run With DA Carb (0 min 17 sec)

And kudos again to DA. They make the finest powerplant options we have in this hobby. And this is a prime example. $118 to my door but worth every penny.

Just placed an order on AliExpress for a new EMAS carb, for my DLA-112. $15 and change. Love the sources on this forum. Went to the DA site and also found the Walbro version I would use on my engine.

I used to sell DLA engines and the two things that aggravated me more were: 1.) DLA ground off the Walbro carb part numbers, making it a challenge to source carb kits. 2.) DLA "Buffed" the mounting surfaces on the mufflers, totally messing up the machined surfaces necessary to create a good seal with exhaust ports.

I would provide them with my findings and recommendations, only to be ignored. Other than that, the engines run very reliably.
