Never heard of a 998. The 990 is the same as an 813, but it doesn't have an accelerator pump. The 990 is the same as a 771, spec wise. Might have different metering springs, etc. Performance wise, they're going to be about the same.

I don't understand where the 813 carb is supposed to have an accelerator pump ,looks the same as my other carbs. it does have a pop off type main jet where some have only a fixed drilled hole for a main jet , but accelerator pump ???my favorite carb is the 19a it has a 36 bore /choke shaft /pop off main jet/ the 813 has no choke shaft and has the smaller venturi 32 same as the 990 .if you are going to run a pipe and the motor has some displacement 29-30.5 go with the 19a carb .the 19a has a straight through bore,you simply cant get the carb any bigger with out changing the manifold,and it's one of the good carbs .

the main difference in the carbs is the main jet ,if it has a simple drilled hole for the main jet the carb has no way to shut off the fuel when the air flow in the carb slows down (during deceleration) this causes a bog when working the throttle , the pop off style main jet delivers or shuts off fuel flow to the carb at a given air speed so the carb can switch effectively between hi & low speed without a bunch of unwanted raw fuel .this gives the engine a more snappy or punchy feel .

I have a 990 that I am not going to use, I ran it for about a tank, but I like having a choke. I got it from gizmo motors and will ship it to ya for 45.

An extra 1 or 2 pulls is all. Mine starts on the 4th pull every time

My 5T has a 990 and it fires up quick like my MT, which has a 668.

the pump bore on the 813 is inside the carb on the return side of the butterfly shaft . there is a c shaped machined out of this shaft-a steel ball rests in this-after the ball- the pump plunger with o ring-then the plunger return spring. yes, the pumped fuel discharges out the main. I suppose this way, Walbro was able to get away with just 1 check valve-the mains. The only visible diff eyeballing this carb- is the small steel plug on the carb body -where the cnc had to drill a passage, then plug up the hole. This carb still had a slight hitch -not really a bog- Stripped it down to bare bones, installed a notched butterfly valve- i have a bunch of these made up- with assorted styles of notches- bolted it up- fired up the cy29-problen sloved.

walbro carbs.

Ram-Jet. looks like you have lots more working time on these carbs than i do-- never new about the 19a. I am alone at my location- its all trial and error for me- The idea behind the notching of the butterfly is to give the lo-speed outlets a stronger signal- Some carb-engines it makes one hell of an diff for the better- others? not so much.- I bought the Walbro pressure spring kit- as u know- all the circuts in these carbs overlap- when the mods click together correctly- it really makes these engines run hard-

 

[moeman68]

what is the 19a carb? wa? wt? cant find any info on them

 

[moeman68]

does any body go on here any more??

 

[Guest]

Maybe there is not anyone with experience with the 19a.

Most use the 668, 990, 813 or the 997 & 998

 

[phreerider]

love the 990.. so far flawless flow , nice snappy topend . delivers without drowning the bottom half and easy tune sweet spot . very stable through warm up and no fade even after super long full bore sessions. nice, easy basic performance.

easy start 2 slow FULL pulls, TDC, first snap--->POP!

Whats' the stock needle settings for the Walbro 998???

 

[Guest]

1&1/4 on the low

1&1/2 on the high

This should get you started.

1&1/4 on the low1&1/2 on the high

I actually tried that and cannot get it to run. When I first installed it it was running too rich on both setting so I turned in both needles and back each out at 1&1/4 on the low 1&1/2 on the high to use as a starting point for tuning now it will not start at all and like a dummy i forgot to record the original settings

First pull the plug to make sure it's not wet. (Wet = Flooded)

The low need should be 1 1/4 out. High won't matter to get it started.

Set the idle stop screw so that the throttle lever is midway up the tapered part of the screw.

Push the bulb a good 5 times.

Pull the starter a few times real slow.

Now a couple regular pulls and it should fire right up.
