[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 132229, member: 7474"] I miss the days when a guy could find a carburetor shop nearby. I had a friend when I was a kid and his father owned and operated a carburetor shop. He could fix any carburetor and had parts on hand so the turnover was quick. Finding aftermarket carbs for machines is pretty difficult so you may want to find where else the engine was used, hopefully a similar engine in a car, and then find a carburetor for that. You can also make or find adapter plates for aftermarket carbs to fit the bolt pattern of yours. Just keep in mind how much room there is in the machine to fit anything aftermarket. Take a lesson from all of the 1950‘s car owners in Cuba that make their own carburetors out of tin cans since they can’t get parts for them. Since it is a gasoline engine you always have the option of converting it to propane. I have done this to machines in the past and it’s not that hard. I used to get parts from “Nash Fuel” they use to sell kits for different machines and generators but you could contact them and get a custom kit made up for just about anything. [/QUOTE]
