Onan carb, possible replacement?

[boybach]

Looking through a bunch of posts this morning regarding Onan carburetor fixes etc I stumbled on this carb listed on Aliexpress.

On a quick glance, physically it seems to be somewhat like the carb on my 6000w Onan, but as I don't have the measurements of mine on hand maybe someone can take a look if this would be a possibility? The video has the mount/throat size measurements at the end.

there are also a bunch of other carbs at the bottom of the page, the tecumseh snow blower one might also be a possibility?

or this?

Seems plausible. Somewhere here there's a thread where someone fitted an alternative carb onto their Onan. I think it was within the last year or two. I can't remember who--one of our regulars though.

A GMC buddy installed a Walbro LMB 180 and with minor modification it's been working very well.

"Happy with it. It does require you swapping out the throttle and choke blade rods with those from the original carb which allows all of the linkages to connect.

The picture shows the differences between the two carbs and why the rods needed to be swapped. I also removed the spring off the new carb for the choke which is not needed."

That's from Dave Servati. Very helpful GMCer.

We have had a lot of trouble with aftermarket carbs for Jetskis that came from China. Mikuni knock offs.
Not sure if this applies but make sure you get a good OEM unit…
