A few questions

[kudzu3 323]

Where do I find new throttle and choke cables, and the filter in the bottom of the gas tank (where the line comes out), for B 80?  How can I make my gas tank look new?  Also, I have a bag of 100, (I only need two) 1/4 " ball bearings  (balls) for shifting fork if anyone needs some. They were difficult for me to find, if you need 'um and can't find 'um, let me know. Thanks!

where it says CHANGE to bring up other manuals .you should find your part number here on one of these pages.

Copy the line below in blue word for word, and place it in the search box on eBay. You will find the correct shut-off valve with screen, plus a new grommet for only $8.99 and free shipping.

To make your tank look like new, clean it good, then coat it with VHT Vinyl Dye. I use satin black. Makes the tanks look like new.

I just prowl ebay and find a throttle/choke setup that is plenty long - and cheap, and cut the existing control handle off and adapt my control then cut the remaining cable/housing to fit. I just replaced my D-160 with a 60" off ebay for $10, needed about 40"

Not to hijack, but are you speaking of coating the inside of an old WH metal gas tank? If so I need to do that. Where do you get this stuff?

No sir uncle Buck (I actually had an Uncle Buck)  , my tank is plastic and I just need to restore the outside. I used the stuff you're talking about in the tank of an old falcon I once had, it worked well. Just pour it in and shake it around and it coats the inside and seals all the little holes. I believe I got it at an auto parts store.
