WANTED Wanted: Husqvarna 545 Junk Carb

[hacskaroly]

I am working on a project 545 (1st gen, not Mk I or II) that someone else started and didn't finish. The more I look into it, I find there are pieces missing. Right now I am looking for a junk 545 carb, not to rebuild, just need parts off of it, specifically item #6 - 576 61 85-01 Lever and the three screws that hold the autotune module onto the carb body. Looks like the screws are the same as on a 562 carb, but the 562 does not have the part #6. Let me know what you have and what kind of deal we can make.



Edit: Unfortunately I don't have an option for a "Wanted" title, my only options are "Help", "Kudos" and "NSFW".
Edit, Edit: Ok, I put it under the wrong place, if it was in the "Parts Only" section, then I would have that option.

i hope you get that beast up and running, I'll poke around my stash and ask my local saw shop if by chance he has anything laying around.

Thanks, I have a clutch cover, front handle and a flywheel inbound. I was working on cleaning everything when I noticed the carb was missing the screws and the other piece for the choke lever. Someone also ditched the purge bulb and the gasket between the autotune module and the carb. I have an Echo purge bulb that will work and will need to order a carb kit as the pump diaphragm is a bit crispy. Boundary Tractor and Tractor Supply didn't have a maintenance kit, so I will order one of those to get the new filters.

It's a fun project, I have a 55 Rancher rebuild going on at the same time, it is sitting on my bench split open waiting for new bearings and a piston. Been hopping back and forth between the two.

I have the stock carb (somewhere) from a ~2015 mki 550 from when I swapped an AT12 to my saw. Are the parts same?

I believe they are, I have looked at the 545 IPLs from 2013 and 2019 along with the 550 IPLs from 2013 and 2019 and they appear to be the same parts, at least with the carbs.
