NEED carb fuel inlet tab float spring

[Rich Johnson]

My darn truck has sat for a while and Ive been starting it periodically. Well the fuel is going bad, need to burn it all out and refresh.
The truck wasn't getting fuel, the float was stuck so I pulled off the fuel inlet and nudged the float, wala it floats and moves again...
BUT, I dropped the **** inlet housing and the pin and spring.
I LOST the spring. I found the pin but cannot find the spring. The truck sits in front of my house so I do have to move it occasionally.
Its awating new tires so I can actually drive it on the road, when budget allows me to.

Has anybody rebuilt a carb recently and have this spring left over from the take out parts?
Please? I don't want to buy a whole kit for one spring......

you can replace just the needle some of them dont need spring try car quest or napa this item is fairly common

How do I ask for the spring part? is there a commercial part it crosses over to?
This is the spring on the fuel inlet needle that pushes on the float tab.

I have a bunch of ETW bits. Is this spring on the float needle?

 

[Rich Johnson]

Yes, its the float needle that is in the brass hex fitting fuel inlet. The spring goes into the needle and springs a pin against the float.
I searched for a few hours and could not find the spring but I found the pin.

If it is this, PM your address and I'll send it to you.

Get the NAPA one piece,viton tip solid needle valve #2-3516 https://www.napaonline.com/en/search/?text=23516 works great in the ETW1 though you will probably have to reset the float level a little.
