Is there any reason why this will not fit my xt with 30.5 cc? I know about 990 and 1107s but no 997. Post seis 30.5cc but other brands. Thinking of scooping it up, thanks fellas. View attachment 7850

thats a great price ! BUT. You have to be certan its a genuine Walbro, not a copycat. IF you are in north america, go to gitzmotor in Flordia, check out his site-- weekly specals there too-- tru priorty mail-- i can get parcels up here in a fringe area in oregon in 3 days. if theres a issue-- it will be resolved quickly. thats worth paying 10- 20 dollars more.

yea, the chances are extremely remote-- the giveaway on the photo- was the word Rovan. e- bay is crawling with copycats. heck, even Mikuni carb parts-- they must have stoles the dies- stamps indcating its gunine-- a tiney square withen a square.-- all it takes to ferret this out is a set of digital calipers.-- the quality of the cnc machines out put parts. nice spelling huh?

I have a walbro 997 on one of my 30.5 engines..it has the same needle settings as a 668. I have been running it for 9 months and has been a solid carb. Yes rovan sells them also and kinda makes you wonder.

It's a new carb removed off a rovan before it was ever ran is what I'm reading. What you guys think about that? Yae or nae?

Like I mentioned.... I have been running one for several months and holds the tune !! For that price you can't go wrong.
