Broken carb fuel barb

[Brewz]

Hi folks.

Just wondering if anyone has and suggestions on how to fix this little issue I have.

It's HT7 off an 084 and I don't want to damage it

What are my options for repairing the fuel barb.
Carb on the left is the problem.

Subbed, my pro Mac 1000 did the same thing.

It's an easy fix. The hardest part will be finding a suitable replacement. Other carbs have barbs that will work.
The stub of the broken one will pull out with vise grips. If you're robbing one from another carb then it'll need removed the same way. Use jb weld or red loctite to anchor one back in. Sometimes they are tight enough just being pressed in place and will not need adhesive.
You might be able to order a suitable barb from the walbro catalog. I'm not sure you'll get anywhere looking for tillotson parts because those barbs are the only thing on the entire carb they don't have a number for on the replacement parts list.

Check with Shaun, The Carby Doctor in Melbourne. Let me know if you need his number.

I think the metal part is ok
It's just the plastic bit that's missing
The Stihl IPL doesn't list it as a replaceable part either

Try partstree. I had the same issue and was able to get one.

A replacement nipple comes with new metal barb

I always replace those half plastic half metal ones with an all steel elbow from another model, Tony. Like others mentioned, the piece left in the carb will pull out and almost all carbs either Tillotson or Walbro have the same diameter stem on the inlet fitting.

Stole the fuel barb from a Chinese MS361 carb and it pushed in tight.

Problem solved.

Thanks folks

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Hell yeah. It sure looks a lot better with that one.
