When the PO and family pulled it out from under the stairs, there was a little accident.
The pot metal nipple on the gas line, the butterfly eyelet and the treaded part that holds the air cleaner on all took damage.
Had just one hour, but I was able to do some repairs.
First: the inlet nipple
It was a nasty break and the pot metal was junk. Crumbled when you touched it. It holds a stem and screen as a filter.
At first, I thought epoxy.
Then I thought better.
Took a piece of thick wall bushing I had laying around, cut to length, trued it up and put a pipe nipple in it.
The other pieces, I will have to JB weld and hope. The throttle piece had all the broken with it. The air cleaner broken piece is missing. Doing what I can with what's left. We will see, but it's all pot metal... I don't know how well they will last.
Hey @Dougt or anyone else. Are there any parts places for these? The crank starter cast crack is a concern.

We don't have a rolling emoji. You might put a wanted ad on Smokstak.com. Maybe you'll get lucky.
