Nice C-5 given to me

I've got a C5 myself and have yet to do anything with it .I'm not even sure where it's at at the moment .Not a big deal for me because I've recently misplaced a Stihl 034 super .Absent minded or the chainsaw bandit struck in the middle of the night .I'd bet the former .

Hey Al if you wanna misplace anything else, I've got family in BG who'll take it off your hands and ship it out to me

So i have this EZ I worked on a while back for a customer... check valve was bad in the carb, replaced and all was good....
He let it sit for at least 6 months and then let a "friend" clean the carb.... Idled fine but pig rich trying to rev up... went back in the carb and the meter lever looks like it was hit by a train and the diaphrams were all crap...
I installed a kit but the lever and spring are just not functioning correctly...

All that being said... anyone have a spare lever and spring or a carb that they are willing to part with....
Have green paper or PP or ????

Is it a Walbro HDC?

Homelite had many different carburetors on there saws. In order to get the correct lever and spring I would need the HDC number on the carburetor. I had a lot of parts for Walbro carbs, but need more information to check for the correct lever and spring.

I didn't know there were different carbs on those.... May be a bit until I can get the numbers off the carb...
Thanks for the info.

Just got this 4-20 running...a whopping $15 later. Had the roller nose bar and a chain laying around. Can't wait to bury it in some wood.

2100 Special automatic. Due for rings, but runs like a champ.

I have an ex that’s identical to that one but mine doesn’t have the muffler kit just the other style with the 4 slots in the cap no baffle.
