Here's a Carter N. That's what I have on my 49.

None of the carburetors will fit except the ML5B because of the bolt pattern on the "H" motor. It is possible to use a Carter "N" model by making the holes enlongated. The same is true for the Tilltoson MT12 [late Whizzer carburetor].

If using a Carter be sure it is fro the Whizzer motor and not a lawn mower because they are often very different. The way to tell if it is a Whizzer Carter version just look at where the fuel line enters the carburetor. If it enters via the top and attaches to a large brass fitting it is the right one. If the fuel line is attached on the side and attaches to the carburetor housing it is the WRONG version. Ebay listing is an example of the wrong carburetor

The Tillotson ML5B is the most common and often easier to find than the other versions.

Be careful if using some of the Tillotson ML carburetors because they fit Cushman scooters and are too large for the "H" motor.

Have fun,

I'd spend the money. You get what you pay for. I have a 49 Whizzer (that I got from Quenton) with a Carter N. Original Whizzer carbs are hard to find. Quenton knows what he's talking about. Didn't your H come with a carb?
