The Walbro carburetor V.S. The Briggs & Stratton Nikki carburetor

To know the carburetor

The carburetor is an oil supply in the engine. A kilogram of gasoline needs to be completely burned with 15 kilograms of air, so oil and gas mixing is important. The carburetor accelerates the engine into the air, sucks the fuel out, atomizes, and mixes it with air. The current carburetor is widely used, including motorcycles, gasoline generators, pumps, cutters, hedge trimmers, snow machines, chainsaws, garden tractors, high-pressure washers, power sprayers, ramming machine, portable digging machine, rotary tiller and so on. Carburetor well-known industry manufacturers are Japan's Mikuni, Keihin, Nikki and Walbro from the United States.

So I guess, your home boat engine or lawn mower are also using the Walbro carburetor or the Nikki carburetor. Today, let’s talk more about these two brands.

The Walbro

Walbro Corporation is an American manufacturing company that specializes in small engine carburetion and supplier of auto parts. Otherwise, Walbro carburetors are commonly used on lawn mowers, line-trimmers, leaf blowers, chain-saws, and edgers and other equipment powered by small engines. Walbro was founded by Walter E. Walpole in November 1950. Tecumseh is a popular brand that uses various Walbro carburetor models on select Tecumseh products, including Walbro's WT, WHG, and LMK models. Walbro carburetor identification is a straightforward process which requires locating the Walbro identification number stamped on the outside body of the carburetor.
