roadapples 6,983 #2 Posted June 2, 2021 I'd use a small screw with the head about the same size as the ball and a nut above and below your linkage... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,608 #3 Posted June 2, 2021 I'd say Mr 'Apples has gotcha fixed up. My first thought was: Why did you replace the original carb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steader 26 #5 Posted June 2, 2021 To be honest im not vary good with carbs.. It seamed like a quick fix.... The old girl was cutting out after about 1 min. I saw some fuel leaking out around the bowl and I Youtubed and saw that I should spend money to buy a shitty carb!!! I still have the old one. I would like to put it back on. could I just swap out the gasket around the bowl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Send it to me. I'll rebuild provided it can be done. Parts/chemicals cost is about $25 or so. I don't charge labor. Shipping is probably $12 to $14 each way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My local hardware store has a selection of ball joint rod ends. They have one with 10-32 threads. Check your local hardware store. Bill 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,173 #11 Posted June 2, 2021 Apparently that is the shaft from the new carb you have in your hand?? If so just take the shaft out of your other carb and put it in the new one. I have to switch out the choke shaft on bout all the import carbs. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a great idea but it didn't work on the one I bought for the c-160 a couple years ago. I can't remember which way was which but the shaft diameter was just a hair off size.
