Hi, I've got a Webb 14" rotary (Atco/Qualcast 114cc alu engine). The carb has a broken float hinge. It means I'd need to repair it (unlikely to be successful) or replace the main body of the carb (so a new complete carb is more likely).
Its a Dellorto FHC20 carb. Cheapest I can find is around £45. However I can get a very similar Tecumseh carb brand new for around £10-15 (or Tillotson or TK - both of which were used with the a114 engine).
Surely all carbs do roughly the same job. As long as the engine port is the same dimension (gasket/interface) I figure I can just use one of these? My problem is I know the dimensions of the FHC20 but can't seem to find much info on the dims of other carbs. Is there an online database?
I think this one will possibly work. Mounting plate is incredibly close:

I calc my mounting plate at 45mm centre of bolt holes and 20mm for the hole (main jet?). I'd have to buy the air filter that goes with it mind you.
Not sure why the images aren't showing. Maybe try this:
