I started taking it apart, intake boot was like roof tar in a tube, fuel inlet on the carburetor is cracked plastic, fuel and impulse lines are in good condition but will replace, along with 4 new isolators. Will JB weld work on the inlet or can i remove and replace it ? problem i have never had to address before, once repaired i will do a carburetor kit.

I've never spent the time looking for a replacement elbow, Walbro doesn't list one in the carb IPL, but something must be out there. I just go the JB Weld route and it's always worked for me.

I've done the JBW thing too and had success. I believe if you can find an all steel 50558 Homelite elbow, it will work too. It's been a while so I'm not 100% sure but I think it'll work.

A Walbro 128-152 should work and it's a metal piece .
Charles
EDIT : the carb stem measures 0.157" . i have used the 128-152 on both a SDC and Tillotson HS to replace
the "fat" fuel line stems on the earlier carbs .
The part shows available on line but my local saw shop was able to order it through his distributor . Took about a week to arrive .

Charles, I was finding Walbro 128-152-1 when I searched online. Is that the same thing? Thanks for the Walbro reference, I'm going to write it down in an IPL.
