Pro Chaser PC21011942 Carburetor

I made a mistake and destroyed the carburetor on my Ryobi RY38BP leaf blower (a gutter cleaning kit killed it, don't attach one of these to this blower). I can't find an aftermarket replacement for that carb. The impulse port is in an odd location, not matched by anything I could find. The Ryobi part, a Walbro carb, would cost about $50 shipped, and I didn't want to pay that considering that it's a $200 blower.This is a rotary throttle valve just like the Walbro and the throttle cable attaches in the same place. But the impulse port is way off, and the throat is bigger, .590 rather than .500. I made an adapter plate out of 1/8" aluminum stock, with the impulse port drilled all the way through where it contacts the intake manifold, and partway through where it contacts the carb, and made a channel between them with a small file (a mill would have been nice for this), and made gaskets for each side to match. I also beveled the intake port in the adapter plate to better match up the .590 carb throat to the .500 intake.I haven't adjusted the idle needle (and the plug is still in place) but it seems to be idling fine. The main needle as shipped was 2.5 turns out from its seat which seemed excessive, but putting it in one turn made it run very badly. I ended up with 3 turns out, or somewhere thereabouts. It's pumping fuel as it should and running very strong. Maybe even better than with the OEM carb. I was worried that the carb would be too big, but I don't think it is. And having an external high-side adjustment needle is a big plus.Note again that this is NOT a direct fit for the RY38BP blower. It took a few hours of work to make the adapter plate and gaskets. But next time I have carb problems, I'll just buy a new one of these and swap it out. You can't beat the price.It seems to be a good carb. If it's a direct fit for your application, you probably won't be disappointed.I just got done blowing for about a half hour. It died on me once and I don't know why. I pumped the fuel bulb a few times and it started back up and did not die again. It was blowing very well, moving mounds of wet leaves with no problem.

Perfect fit

The rubber tank plugs that came with this had 2 holes in them while my OEM only has one. Ended up using the old one. Two hoses and 2 fuel filters came in this. The pink hose was smaller diameter and fit the supplied fuel filters well, but not to the carb. The clear larger hose barely held onto the supplied fuel filter but was snug on the carb. Ended up just using the old fuel filter and the larger clear hose. Other than that, the carb fit and the motor fired right up and worked perfectly.

This carburetor was easy to install and got my leaf blower working well again. I highly recommend it.

worked perfect with no adjustments very good !!

Easy fix! Runs Great

ok

Carburator looks great but does not fit my pr 2232 poulan hedge trimmer even though add says it will
