Husky model 50 parts

[Alycidon]

The choke spring broke on the above saw today, having a dig round suggests the current part number is 501770703 ( was 702).

 

Can someone give me a steer to a likely supplier, my local dealer keeps little and the web suggests its no longer available, FR Jones comes to mind thinking about it, anyone else?.

 

All it is is a flat spring with a U bend in it and a slot where it engages the choke lever.

 

Thanks

I haven't yet managed to stump Stanton Hope's with a request for some unusual Husky parts.

Well I did call my local ( Nothampton) Husky dealer, gave them the part number and advised them that I thought that the part number was no longer available. They promised to look into it and possible alternatives and call me back. 7 hours later and no call back so I rang them, again. Sorry part discontinued, no alternative, scrap the saw.

 

I then rang Stanton Hope, spoke to an excellent guy, he thought he had one but that it was a coil spring not a flat spring so he promised to ring me back, that was late Monday. Weds comes, no answer so I start fishing round myself and find a new top cover with choke and spring attached, £30 but the only option so away we went.

 

An hour later Stanton Hope rings, he has the correct spring at about £3, fair credit to him he did give me the option to not proceed but I dont work like that, so now I have a top cover and a spring winging their ways to me.

 

So thumbs up for Stanton Hope.

Got a pic?

I put another carb on a 50 last year and quite possibly thrown the old carb in a box with about 20 others as I always hoard old carbs. If I know what im looking for I can look through it.

 

EDIT

 

Oops didn't read the post fully. Glad you've sorted it.
