Hello all,
Working on the SMTA carb today, I had it in the carb cleaner can for another round of cleaning.
I discovered the brass button for what I think is the anti-backfire poppet valve in the bottom elbow of the carb, under a lot of gunk.
The rest of the assembly is missing, I think its a pin/rivet, spring, maybe another button.
Looking for your guidance, are these a CIH part I should get from the dealer, in a standard carb rebuild kit, or just run it as-is? (I have had the engine running roughly last fall, on this tractor, so I know it will work without, but feel like eventually when I need the choke its vacuum is going to be compromised by the open cross-section) Thanks!
