Slight problem with old GB reed motor

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Pulled my old GB Bandit out of storage yesterday and thought I'd clean it up and throw it on Craigslist

Even though I haven't touched it in many years, it started up easily with a few squirts of carb spray

Unfortunately, the fuel bulb dried out and cracked up

Anyone know if I use one off of a Zenoah or Homelite or is it GB specific?

gb? can you gvie a bit more info? bergonzoni? talking reed, you must mean the boss motor? i don't recall the exact carb i had on my brave, but it was deffinatly a walbro, i want to say it was WT-251, and was tapped for the reed motor from walbro if im not mistaken.

Yes, sir


It's a Bandit with a Bergonzoni Boss Reed


I'll try to snap some photos later today.

ok. mine had the Walbro, im pretty sure it was a 251.
I ll tr to check thru my old brave manual (if i can dig it up) and see if it lists the carb. i looked on walbros site yesterday, and didnt see that perticular carb info anywhere. maybe worth a call to them and see what they may recommend
