What differences, if any, are there in this carburetor as applied to an E205 and E225? Any physical difference say, in the number of jets? Any pressure and flow differences in either?

Hi Norse,
Yes there is a difference, of course the part numbers of the PS-5C's are different for each engine and some physical differences exist. But the operational differences are the setup and flow rate for each engine. You can't just swap carb's between engine and have the engine run right, you will need to have a carb repair shop set the carb for the engine, by process of at least a bench flow test and calibration. Have you contacted any of the repair shops that do that? I used to have a listing of the part numbers of the PS-5C's that fit the appropriate E-series engines, but can't locate it at the moment. But I think that most any of these can be adapted to your engine via a experienced carb repair shop familiar with the PS-5C.

Yes. I've contacted several carb shops, Airmotive Carburetor (Burbank) and Precision Engines (Washington State). As for Airmotive Carburetor, I couldn't get past their overhaul quote of $2700. The quote blew me away, I had obviously called the wrong place. I could probably purchase a fuel injection system for that price. So, I called Precision Engines and talked to the tech rep to ask what exactly is involved in converting P/N 391330-3 to mate with an E225, it coming out of a E185/205. He told me that he had to research it and would get back to me but that some of his references show that 391330-3 is used in both a E185 and E225. The suggestion was that the current "spray bar" (jets, orifice) may be appropriate for both engine. He got back to me the same day and said the PL 391583 was required for the E225 and involved a change in the spray bar and other parts. He's working up a quote for me and I fully expect that it too will blow me away.

I'd also consider getting the part number call out for the E225-8 with the air nozzles. Yeah, I think either PS-5C can be converted, but down the road I think you'd be glad you matched the right part number with the engine. Unless the carb is retagged with a new number, it will only cause confusion for the next owner or next AP that might look and ask question or more.
