In the process of rebuilding the carb in Arizona, when I got to Oregon I found I had left the power needle (the one that goes
into the float bowl) in AZ. I have googled warble sites with no luck. does anyone where I might find this part? Or can I upgrade
to a newer carb?

Tanks for the help

The carburetor is a Walboro LMB, but the problem is that it was used on a number of Wisconsin engines with mounted fuel tank, and that is the wrong needle and seat. If you go to a small engine parts store, and ask them, the may just be able to set you up. the rubber tipped needles were apparently all the same. The seat is the bear. You want one with a tiny (like #60) orifice. And< in spite of the manual, just set the float to rest parallel to the upper casting.
