I have a Snapper Hi-Vac 21" 37 years old when we were first married, it still runs. The carb is no longer available but the kit is. I will never part with it, just curious if anyone here still has a carb for backup?

thank you for any info in advance

Horse power of Engine ?
Which side of engine is Carburetor on . Exhaust side ? and or does the carburetor mount to a tube that goes through the cowl . Plus does the Carburetor mount to the tank .
A pic would certainly help on this.

Why not the kit? Carb is like 5 pieces total.

I tried a kit on a Tecumseh 5.5 (my 35 year old tiller) to no avail,I got a new carb,spark plug, and air filter for the Tecumseh on amazon for $18.It will crank one pull now.
