Changing your Evolution 26 GT carb to a   WT-540 BIG BORE

Your Evolution 26 GT is equiped with a Walbro WT-615 and it's OK for the most part. But if you want to really wake up your engine then switch your carb to a WT-540 or a  WT-610. You won't believe the difference!

Your engine will accellerate FASTER and have a much higher TOPEND 

A WT-540/WT-610 will litterally bolt on your engine. You will have to adapt a throttle arm to suit your airplane.

After I made a throttle arm, I also made screwdriver guide tubes for easy tuning. The guide tubes are Goldenrod (BLUE)  guides. Just cut them to length and push them on. The new carb is equiped with a spring-loaded automatic release choke. I like it, and kept it. But you can install the choke off your original carb if you like.

NOTE: Walbro WT-540 is a discontinued carb. It is replaced with the WT-610.
