Not sure whether Makita made the engine, but the carb is a Walbro WYL from USA.
I am stoked. I downloaded a instruction from Walbro and watched a couple of videos on Walbro carbs on youtube.....
Installed the kit, just wanted to recheck all the gaskets order.... I had it wrong, my computer crashed a couple of times.....
Got it going, put the gaskets in right.
It started 2nd pull, ran smooth...................... I whipper snipped the backyard.............
Thanks to ODK Walbro and Youtube...............
speedy
now I'll have a go at the ROK whipper snipper
