My question is is #26 body correct for 1450 ?

If you have the walbro carb you'll need the whole carb. You want a carter #30 carb.

The walbro's are bad about this problem.

Nope. I would try and get a carter carb. You'll need the complete carb. I'm not sure if the walbro and carter carbs share the same parts. With how far this has to go to get to you I'd order the complete carb. Like DX3 states you want the one with #30 stamped in it.

Here's a good read on the walbro carbs.
