1976 WR 360 Gurtner Carb Issue.... HELP! PLEASE!

    I just purchased a complete 1976 WR360 and have ran into an issue with the carb. While I was cleaning it I managed to break the pilot jet in half when I was resampling it... My main issue is that its a Gurtner 38mm carb, and I cannot find a pilot jet anywhere....

    Would it be a better idea to just convert to a Bing model 54 or Mikuni? Is that a possibility?

    Any help would be most appreciated as I am lost at this point.

    Back when they came with Gurtners the dealers were swapping them out with Mikunis from Husky for free.

    I found some reed cage bodies, Is yours like the one with the aluminum neck? I am pretty sure the one with the rubber part next to it is off an air cooled 430 and is probably better than using a rubber hose sort of method.

    Not all round slide
    (38mm) micuni carbs are the same length.

    Yes! mine in the on the far right... The aluminum neck. It looks as though the one on the far left would do the trick. The OD on the Mikuni is 43mm. the gurtner is slightly larger, which allows it to be sleeved over the neck and clamped in place.

    Are these yours????

    Just use the inlet stub from a 390. Should bolt right up to the back of the reed cage. Use a new inlet rubber available from Mikuni dealers (try Sudco). If required, change the carb/filter boot for a new one (try Phillip). Again all 390 parts.
