The carb on my newest project 8n was in pieces and the only thing missing was the venturi. I checked online and the only replacements are made out of plastic now. Made in china no doubt...

I just like the idea of original, makes me feel better I guess. Its easy these days to throw it away and buy another one, it takes hard work and ingenuity to fix what is broken and make it usable again. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'll keep my eyes open but will go ahead and get the plastic venturi so I can get the motor tested. Might as well go ahead and put some METRIC bolts in there while I'm at it. Oh well...

Jeff Personally I have no problem with a plastic venturi or metric fasteners. Why do you care - they both work fine. TOH This post was edited by TheOldHokie at 06:08:50 11/26/12 3 times.

Usually the only way you can find the BRASS venturi, is to luck out and buy a broken OEM M/S carb from someone, that is getting ready to 'Deep Six' the broken carb!!!! You DO know that the USA has turned into a 'throw away Society'....RIGHT??? I just boxed up and am sending out my LAST Brass venturi, that I have been hording, to a LONG TIME, member here on this forum. Getting harder and harder, to send out M/S carbs, from my carb shack, with OEM type parts in them, unless the carbs that I get in, are half-way OEM !!! AND....the kit prices just keep going up in cost,....from the 'Land of Almost Right', with 'Slip-Shod' parts in them!!! END of RANT!!!! :twisted: Gary :x [Reply]  [No Email]

I think I used my last spare not long ago in a carb for a guy I met by way of this site who lives less then 20 miles from me [Reply]  [No Email]
