I picked this up at a garage sale for what I thought might be a decent price. came with original manual and purchase reciept from new..... 2 sisters in (Im guessing) their late 50s selling off their departed Dad's stuff..... I could tell this thing had sat a bit, and it has. I got it started with gas dribbled in spark plug hole, sounded good.... the mice had had their way with it. the air filter was all chewed up, original carb is seized from mouse pizz.... I found a replacement Walbro that looks real close (I couldn't find an original WT40, found brand new WT180 for about the cost of a rebuild kit and bought that)
the main thing I still need is either a new air filter (or good used one) could use carb mount gaskets but can make those I suppose/
I cannot find an air filter element anywhere, number I am finding is 70029-82400. Plan B is to find a different filter housing of some kind, and accompanying air filter. I have discovered that Echo and Shindaiwa are somehow related, an Echo equivalent or alternative would work.....
and 1 more thing.... at the throttle control end, what holds the column jacket for the throttle cable into the throttle control itself?
