I have finally put together a video that tries to explain how I modified my Walbro Carburetor to get a smoother midrange. It's been a challenge but rewarding process and I feel that I should share my results. The one device that requires the 1Kohm resistor is the product below: http://www.flyelectronics.eu/en/products/flight-motomonitor.html The article that I found so very helpful can be found here: https://www.southwestairsports.com/ppgtechinfo/top80/hrservicenotes/walbrowg8/GerryFarellmods.pdf The dimensions for my my butterfly notch are 8.5mm wide and 2.1mm from the original radius. The Walbro WB3A butterfly disk is part number 34-65 The Walbro pop-off spring part number is 98-299 I purchased the parts from Rowena Carbs http://www.rowenacarbs.co.uk/ I really hope this helps other find a smoother midrange on their Walbro carbs.
