Anyone have one of those small screws and lock washer that attaches the choke plate to the rod?
Mine went down the shop drain and the magnet on a string didn't work.

Email is open.

IIRC the parts book (at least the online version) gives the size of screw needed. Last time I lost one I was able to find them at Menards; did have to get BHCS to get a short enough length but it worked all the same.

Local hardware store should have them.Take the remaining one as a 'sample'

Sorry if this is obvious, but if it"s brass, magnet wonnn"t work. It might still be sitting there in the trap.

6 X 32 X 1/2 long screw. Think even Lowes has them.

Anything I might have would be in the "used" pile, and are in that pile because they aren't fit to be used again. I have found that all too often, the parts that come out of a carburetor are usually better than the new parts that come in the kit.

Nope, this one 3/16 long at most. And steel.
Rod and plate are steel in this one.

Couple comments.If the 'replacement' screw is too long-simply cut it off.Remove the trap and dump it out.It's called a 'trap' for a reason!The screw may be sitting there waiting to be 'rescued'.

Number 6 screw is the size with number 32 threads with both a one screw or two hole choke shaft. SM would be 2 screw. Never found the screws less than 1/2 inch long at a hardware. Lowes did have steel ones in a little package and steel lock washers also. If to long shorten them up. 1/4 long will do but IH sometimes used longer screws and put places in the threads sticking through. That keeps screws from coming out and going in the engine.
I usually let them come through the choke shaft just a little then put a little cut place in the thread sticking out in case one comes loose. Just enough to swell the threads on each side of the cut. If I need to remove the screws again I just file the cut place down.

Yep, 6x32x1/2 cut down to length. Hardware store had them
Thanks

I did cut down a couple 6x32. Actually no "traps" in the shop floor. Just elbows under drain caps (3) in shop.
