Vacu-Jet choke valve needed

[Emeritus]

I have this carburetor, choke valve is missing.
Trying to find parts for it online, the only thing I found is a repair kit that does not contain choke valve.
Any clues where from to get one without paying half a price of a new lawnmower? :confused2:

Well, methinks I just have to make one. Thanks for looking at this thread. :tongue:

That's all I could find. Hope it gives some clues?

is this a briggs and stratton engine?.....and the mower numbers too pls

 

[Emeritus]

Yes, Briggs & Stratton, there are no mower numbers, the deck is not exactly in pristine condition.

sounds like you need to get a used one.....it weird that its missing the choke plate....makes you wonder what else is missing....i just went thru a Tecumseh carb and it was missing a emulsification oring and spring...also had wrong jet.....you never know till you check

Well, I inspected it and it seems everything else is in place. Obviously the poor thing won't start without that plate, although I'm sure it would run just fine. Maybe it needs new piston rings, but I'll get there once I get it started.
It was left behind by previous owner of this house because it needed some welding, I guess. I do not want to use it as a pushmower (I've got a better one), but I'd like to hook it up to the side of my riding mower so I can cut the grass on riverbank. In fact, three out of four sides of my property are waterfronts.

uh oh!....sounds like you have a tinkeritis issue:laughing:....if you do that....you gotta take pictures:thumbsup:

Pictures will come ... indeed ... tell the truth I've been playing with this idea since I bought this place ... some 3 years ago ... see, I already took it apart, uh. :ashamed:
