carb mod....can't find #4 washers

[bobcat]

I can't seem to find the #4 flat washer needed to modify the carb needle...My local hardware store has #4 split washers and #6 flat washers but no #4 flats..Home Depot only has #6 flat...

Any suggestions?

Do you have a Lowe's? They have them.

Yes, I, too, found them at Lowes for a whopping 99 cents.

I got some lock washers from a "cheapo" 12-16 drawer plastic cabinet for $10? Harbor Freight? I just used two pliers to flatten them out or use a hammer on the floor. Type not important. Getting the combination of the correct thickness of about 1/2 the thickness of the white spacer is all that is important. Star washers, flat washers, lock washers, shim stock, or a piece of aluminum cut to fit in the slide cavity of about .050" will work.

Try Ace, Lowes, Home Depot, local hardware stores, what ya got laying around?

I ended up using #6S brass washers I got from Home Depot. They are smaller in diameter then the regular #6 and worked very nicely for me. I ended up using 3 of them as each one measured out at .6 mm in thickness.

Hope this helps.

I eventually found the #4 steel washers at Radio Shack...I didn't know those other washers would work also, but I do now..

Thanks
