Walbro and Nikki are manufactures just like Ruixing.

The item noted is a clip help the float the pull the needle valve off the seat.

A carb is a card is a carb is a carb is a carb.
On two stroke hand held devices they can be a problem swapping around but on a mower you could shove a 4 barrel Holley on there if you could make a manifold to fit it.

We will need the date code off of your engine, it will be the longest series of numbers after the model, type and code XXXXXX-XXXX_XX XXXXXXXX

that is a serial number. It is another way of saying "on engines of this model made on or after this serial number" then up to the next serial number series. The factory plans to make tooling and parts changes on a certain date. They record the serial number. In WWII the US Army Air Corp drove Ford crazy making constant changes to the B-24 design. Every time the whole assembly line had to be changed. Three changes in a week, 3 assembly line stoppages and changes. Nothing gets done. Since then assembly lines plan changes on a set date so everything after that date until the next change gets all the changes at once. Then there is only one assembly line change. Might use a carb model X up to a certain date then change to Y. If the mount, manifold, linkage etc don't change then either carb would work. Might have been one carb manufacturer gave a better price, or had better quality control, or delivery.

The first six digits of the date is read as YYMMDD. Depending which it has it will either the NIkki or Walbro instead of the Ruixing. As Ruixing was used after NOV 29, 2015.

As for the clip it depends on the carburetor setup at the time. I have seen bot with and witrhout the clip.

If it works in the first place
A bit hard for fuel to get through a main jet that has no hole in it
OR through a venturii tube with no hole in it
An idle circuit without the blanking off plug from when it was machined tends to run a little lean .
But yea even $ 15 recycled scrap cab can be made to work

Or they just use a corncob and a wire for a spark plug. Or use a tin can for a muffler. Yet they go out and buy the finest beer money can buy.

You can replace the carb or just unplug the Solenoid from the wiring harness.
Install a good Shut Off valve on the fuel line and use it every time.
Shut it off about 20 seconds before you are done with the mower.

You are going to need to explain this. Becasue I don't think that is going work if the fuel solenoid is still in place. The only that would work would be on generators.

A lot people thinks that these solenoid shut off the fuel completely; they don't. They just block fuel to main nozzle when the engines are shut down or shutting down in case a generator.

I like Daryl dactyls cheap remedies, as seen on youtube. Just unscrew the solenoid, use side cutters to nip the protrusion off, screw it back in and bingo it no longer shuts off the gas.
