Yeah, its crazy how that carb will just rattle around without the brace. Crazy simple fix! Luckily mine still had one attached, but I scoured the IPLs because I was still missing many pieces. I didn't realize that some of the pieces changed a little over the years and ended up getting some stuff that didn't fit and had to modify it.
I haven't a clue if I got all the necessary chingaderas between the clutch and oil pump or not.
When you take it apart, count all the pieces and see if you end up with the same number as the image here:
Did you have to buy 10 to get the one you needed?
I don't think all of 9.10,11 and 15 made it.
I think #15 is the oil seal. My #9 ended up being in two pieces (nylon I think), but I used it anyways...lol
Nope , there cheap like 8 dollars for 10 rings , I’ll be using them in the future, but wasn’t the easiest find ,
I believe there was one called a dust seal or something that I didn't have room for, another one in there that's pretty mangled.
If you look back at the carb picture I sent in it shows the right angle adapter used with a vee stack. All that weight is on two rather long bolts which naturally would oscilate more without the brace bracket in place . All I know is that thing had sat on a barn floor on some island off the Washington coast for twenty years with a bad coil . I got it cheap from another forum .That thing in good tune will really scoot but if it's been modified I have no idea ,never looked to see .Even if I did my knowledge of Husqvarna porting is not real good .If it were Stihl or McCulloch that would be another story .
