Opuntia sulphurea
Common Name: Sulphur Prickly Pear

 

Opuntia sulphurea is a distinctive prickly pear native to Argentina and Bolivia, prized for its blue-green to gray-green pads and dramatic long, white, toothpick-like spines. Unlike many heavily armored Opuntias, this species typically displays fewer spines, allowing the striking length and bright white color of each spine to stand out against the cool-toned pads.

 

Over time, it forms spreading clumps that make an impressive addition to desert gardens, rockeries, and cactus collections. In spring and early summer, mature plants produce bright yellow flowers that provide a beautiful contrast to its sculptural form.

 

☀ Light Requirements
Thrives in full sun. Strong light encourages compact growth and healthy spine development.

 

💧 Watering Needs
Water only when the soil is completely dry. Requires excellent drainage and is highly drought tolerant once established.

 

🌡 Temperature Tolerance

✨ Key Characteristics
• Blue-green to gray-green pads
• Long, white, toothpick-like spines

Honda product and quality.
Do NOT understand why my lawnmower with a Honda engine did not come with a Honda carburetor. Replaced with this Honda carburetor and starts easily. The other carb only lasted 1.5 years.

Worked but not well made. If you need 24 hour turnaround only option.
The housing is 95% identical. Float valve seat is smaller than mercury/quicksilver. The carb I received was stuck wide open. Had to completely pull it apart to fix the throttle. Then the choke didn’t work correctly. So I ended up putting this housing on with all my old mercury carb parts inside. All I needed was a new float valve but they are back ordered indefinitely. So this worked because the housing is correct but that’s about it. Internals were plastic. Not metal. Jury is still out on the jet size. I’ll update if it floods the motor at speed. Seems to be running very rich. If you’re looking for easy, I’d buy the quicksilver that’s tuned for the motor already. The carb I received idled too fast and even if the throttle wasn’t stuck open it wouldn’t have run well with a racing choke (screams air leak because of poor quality)

Throttle pin defective
This carb fits my tohatsu 3.5 hp but the throttle pin is defective. The only way to regulate it running wide open is to choke it out.
