This piece in the picture is a plastic relay which rotates the choke flap,it broke on my brothers pierburg 2e3 so he replaced the carb with a second hand one for £100, the same thing has happened on the replacement within around four months.
Do you think this is just a coincidence?


Rob.

No.

That's what I thought.
I just spoke to Gower & Lee and apparently it was a common fault on these carburettors, and the part is not available.
Any ideas where to get one from?
Cheers Rob.

Maybe http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polycraft-SG2 ... 3a734f3d03
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/500g-extra-10 ... 46118576aa but I am dubious as I I don't know what temp that area reaches when the engine is switched off. I have used it for a lot of things and it is very tough when cold.
Or carve your own out of a piece of suitable scrap nylon. I presume that it is a nylon part.

Time to make your own I should think!

I might have a spare rob
but oldies advice is sound

That would be great if you have Kev.


Problem with ObG's fix is I don't have a complete one. The other half has dropped into the engine bay and long gone. We had a good look round but to no avail.
I have two perfectly usable carbs now with the Same problem.
