HF Predator 4,000W needle source?

[TT_Vert]

I know I can get entire carb for $18 on amazon but I just want the dang needle! I tore the carb down and the needle was varnished enough that when I went to pull it I ripped the head clean off the needle. I cleaned rest of carb but it was all very clean. I tried to solder the head of the needle back together but it wasn't having any of that. I then tried to just drill/tap to use the head of a small screw as the head that sat on the float but that went sideways. So now here I am looking for a needle in a haystack maybe? Pun intended.


Thanks
Dave

$10.99 shipped for an entire carb makes it hard to justify tracking down individual parts.

I "thinK" that's a different carb. This is what I have. I know it's cheap i just think it's the principle of the matter. I'd rather not have a cheap chinesium carb on it but i'm pretty sure this HF generator is all cheap chinesium.

It does look like the honda GX160 parts interchange so this might work:

I have replaced the carburetor on my Harbor Freight 13 Horse with the equivalent from Amazon for about $10. The engine runs fine.

Yesterday morning we had an outage caused by a Mylar balloon, but my home brewed generator set allowed me to serve hot coffee.

Odd that is does not include the seat.
