Qualcast 35s carb

[Richard 1234]

Hi can anyone identify this carb please?

I either want s new one or a kit a the main seal on the bowl has withered.

Also needs a new air filter.

It say Tecumseh and 46 on the bowl and 187 on the bowl nut can't find any more numbers

Many thanks in advance

Good luck with that one!

I have never been able to source the bowl seal for that carb, not saying its not available, but I personally have never found one. I manage nby robbing out dead carbs or making other seals fit by cutting to size and bonding with commercial grade superglue.

 

Many Tecumseh parts and Qualcast/Bosch/Atco parts are too.

 

The filter is easy, got them on the shelf.

Thanks both would I be better just trying to find a replacement do you think?

And if so what type can fit it?

Many thanks

Meant to say many of these parts are obsolete

I've cleaned the carb out and put the bowl seal back in place (it was not in position when I opened it don't know if it sprang off when I opened it?) the engine was hunting and then cutting out as soon as under load. The fuel line was withered also so I've changed that and done this clean.

It may work now but I'm not overly hopeful!

Would a walbrough carb fit? I might try and Nick one of another engine that I know I can get parts for(I have s couple of Hondas in the workshop)

There are a few listed on ebay , i would try for a repair kit before a China carb if you can , do you have the engine build numbers ? it will id the carb fitted

As Garden Kit pointed out a lot of spares are obsolete , but Euro tecumseh part numbers are not the same as USA a lot of spares are still around if you can xref to the US part numbers , it can be a pain but its an option ..

I've found some numbers on the carb but I'm struggling to match them up as yet. I will pop down in the morning and try and find an engine number if no good. I think I will ring a dealer on Monday and see if they have any ideas!

Thanks

Forgot to say ! your carb looks like an Emission carb , there should be a security cap over the idle jet , if so remove and check for dirt in the jet .

Could that be the black cap near the bowl?
