If anyone needs a part they cant find. And does not have the time to look it up. Give it to me. I am stuck in this wheelchair with noting to do. Maybe I can help out.
 
Billy.
I'm looking for a younger body (male only) that the Dr's can unscrew my head and do a full body transplant. lol
 
Sorry to hear that, Billy--hope things get better soon! Thought of you recently when I was working on a little Kawasaki-engined generator I have. Most parts are unavailable or priced higher than the whole generator's worth, but I did locate a carb gasket kit and am waiting on the slow boat to get it here. It had sat with gas in it so everything's gunked up. It's a Kawasaki FA76D engine and the only video I could find in a quick Youtube search on it had the exact same problem mine did--a snapped off carburetor mounting ear and a gunked-up carb.
 
Don't have much--the video below shows the exact unit I have. Figured I'd post it here for the site's general curiosity. I found a manual and parts breakdown but they're a rare bird and long out of production so there's not a lot out there. I stuck the carb ear back on with Blue Demon Triple Play low-temp aluminum brazing rod--the guy in the video used TIG but my TIG skills aren't up to that and I didn't want to ruin the carb irretrievably. Hoping the carb gasket kit will get me back up and running--it runs fine now on carb cleaner but won't pick gas up from the tank.

I have spent most of the day looking. Found a few minor parts. But most parts are no longer in the system. Got a call in to a guy that has some used engines. Will see what he has.
 
I appreciate the effort, Billy, but like I said--at this point the only thing I need is the carb gaskets and I got those off Amazon for like 3 bucks, they're just making their slow way from China at the moment. Generator's not worth spending much money on--I just had one small project for it but I ended up doing that another way when I found out I needed to work on the generator (which I haven't ran in probably 15 years) before I could use it. If the carb gaskets get it going I'm fine with that, if not, it will probably go back in the attic where I came from--shipping cost would make any part much heavier than gaskets uneconomical even if the parts were free.
 
How about a clutch shaft for a 1946 Massey Harris 101 Jr. with the 162 Continental 4 cyl. gas. It's really a drive shaft from the clutch to the transmission, about 18 inches long, with clutch disc splines and pilot shaft on one end and a large sprocket keyed on the transmission end. The large sprocket is one of a pair, with a double roller chain as the connector to the trans. shaft. It has a carrier bearing bolted to the rear of the bellhousing. I've found them once in a while on eBay, but I don't want to pay almost $200. I would do around $100. I don't think you will find any new ones, but most of them I've found are in good shape. I am in no hurry. And thanks for offering this Billy. I really appreciate the offer. Steve Bateman-North Idaho with family connections to S. Minnesota.
 

Help Billy out, give him all the info he will need. I gave you the part numbers and serial number break from the parts catalog, where they show the pumps changed, when you posted about this before. That was so you could use the right part number to search with. It may help to give him the casting number of your housing as well.
