Onan walbro carb
 

I have a B48G engine with an Onan walbro carburetor on my 982. Are they any better carb than the Nikki? This is the first one I've had and it needs rebuilt. I also have a Nikki that needs rebuilt.

If you find a better one...let us all know. Mine is getting VERY tired and worn out too!

I moved this thread over to the Onan engines section. Maybe you can get some different exposure over here..... :ThumbsUp:

Thanks, these rebuild kits are expensive like everything else. I need to rebuild one of them, I just thought I might get some input on which is the better carburetor.

I'm having issues with my Walbro too. I looked and couldn't find a model # on the carb--at least not while it is still bolted to the intake! One place that may have reasonable priced kits is V.E. Petersen. I've got quite a few kits from them for farm tractors.

Thanks for the reply and info. I'll check them out.

So...... what is it that you want to know? Where to get parts? Or who makes a better carb?

I just plan on rebuilding one of them. Either the Walbro or the Nikki. I'm not going to do both, so I thought maybe one was a better carb than the other.

Both companies have made carbs for eons. I really don't think it will matter. Is one adjustable and one not? If so, rebuild the adjustable one.

Thanks for the reply. The walbro is adjustable, so I'll go with it.
