Anyone seen or know where to find information on one of these? I found a small amount of info searching on the web but nothing other than old ads and a brief description. Has a 5hp Briggs.
 
Trying to decide if I'm going to do anything with it or pass it on.
 
Thanks

Took a break on this for a little while to fix the ignition on a Tecumseh powered Blue Star welder.
 
So I was able to cut the carb spring shape from the spring steel material. Edges were sightly rough but a little filing took care of that. I reassembled the carb with the new spring and reproduction carb diaphragm and check valve. It fired right up after priming the lines with fuel using a little air pressure! Only adjustments I've made is the mixture screw to get the rpms right for the correct voltage.
 
Calling this one done for now I guess. Might need to keep an eye out for another OR tool to rebuild!

Finally got the saw back together. That took way too long. It’s been busy but it feels good to finish this project. I may tackle the Chug-a-Drill next...
 

While waiting on material, figured I would get the shape of the spring down.
 
Printed a couple trial and errors and think I have the shape close but seems a little long when compared to the original pieces. Anyone have measurements or could measure a good factory piece? Thanks.

Thanks for the links. I haven't dug around much on Ebay for parts. Looks like I need to. Will need to get one of those gasket sets for the diaphragm. My other pieces seem fine but would like to replace the plastic check valve also.
 
Think I'll try my luck with making the rod. I have some other things to order from McMaster.
 
I hadn't seen that thread on the springs but had the same thought about cutting one out of 1095 spring steel material. My original pieces measure about .004". I have access to a 40w laser as well. Not sure if it will cut shim material or not. Should at least make a nice pattern to trace using dykem.
