I have a PICO engine that i am trying to find a carb for. I cannot find any markings on the engine that would clue me into what model or even what size engine this is. If there is anyone on here that may be able to help i would really appreciate it. I added an attachment with a photo of the engine next to a playing card for size scale Thanks.

I am pretty sure it is a Picco .90. You might want to set up a search on e-bay to look at Picco parts. I'll bet if you ask for a carb on this or some of the other sites, someone will have an extra one they are willing to sell. I can't see the carb mount in the pic. If it is a bolt on flange type it would be best to find another Picco carb. Most carb mounts use a 'barrel' with a pinch bolt. On this type you may be able to adapt another brand of carb. Measure the hole, then check out Aeromarine's web site. They sell some racing carbs that come with sleeves to get the bore sizes matched up. Actually any carb from a .67 on up would propbably work well provided the barrel was sleeved to fit the bore. An o-ring seal, or a bit of sealant for oxygen sensors 'copperseal??' would also be a good idea. Good luck. RC
