Help with Walbro carb
Original Message   Jan 27, 2012 12:23 pm
Yes. I'm a dummy. Set myself up with a clean clear workspace to do an overhaul of the Walbro HDA carb on my Homelite 4-20 ss. First thing I do is lose the small ball bearing that holds the choke lever in place (#$&^#&*((^%^). I heard it fly off to the side & bounce off a box, but despite an hour of searching with a large magnet, I've come up empty. I haven't gone off to the dealer yet, but I wonder if anyone by chance knows what size that small ball is?
Its a Walbro HDA 59A and part number 22, "Ball, choke friction" on the parts list. Seems to be the same on many models.

Thanks

carlb, is that what they mean by "half in the bag" ?       Really that's not a crazy idea for something this size, I'll try it next time.

No luck at the small local repair shop, but in poking around the Walbro website I got a part number that they list as a .125 steel ball. Gonna check my parts bins for a small bearing of that size or in worst case there is a local bearing supplier who should have one>

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
