Hi guys,
I was recommended this forum from another engine repairer, though not chainsaw specific, I'm having an issue with a Walbro WA-59 carburetor, I thought perhaps it's used on chainsaws too.
I have an ECHO SRM-200DA & started cleaning the carb, a Walbro WA-59. I went to reinstall everything the other day with new gaskets, needle. screens etc & I'm stumped on one section (see pic). In the photo, it looks like something it covering the hole in the carb, perhaps a welch plug, but I can't find anything that would fit it among the spares nor did I receive any in my gasket or repair kit.
I've looked at diagrams from https://www.ereplacementparts.com/walbro-wa591-carburetor-parts-c-139716_142758_140714.html & also from WALBRO https://www.walbro.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/WAseries.pdf (which is pretty good) but still unsure if or what part is suppose to go there.
I've been told to just buy a replacement carburetor, I'd much rather fix it as the replacements are aftermarket, likely not as good & possibly a different design.
Is anyone familiar with this Walbro carburetor or perhaps have one lying around ? The closest (and only) reference material I've come across is in this video, where the carburetor is the WA version, but very very slightly different internally. The video shows one with the fuel inlet being a bent connection instead of the inlet that goes through the side like mine.
Hoping someone will have an idea, I've posted on multiple facebook groups and forums, but no one is too sure.
