Topic: What is this carb part?

[Mushman]

I stepped on this and broke it yesterday, it's the bracket that sits underneath the floats, clipped over the main jet. I can see it on the parts diagrams but there's no listing or part number for it. WTH?
Still a success story, my 74 550 was only running on 3 cylinders, found out number 4 wasn't getting any gas so after replacing the float needle and seat it runs perfect. I put the broken bracket (tang???) back anyway as it still stayed in place but it's obviously not correct.
Anyone know where I can get one?

It keeps the main jet from falling down. Not available. Should be in place to avoid trouble. Maybe someone here has some to spare. I bought some sheet brass at a hobby shop, cut out the shape and bent it to do the job, it's worked for years without a problem.

Man in Holland on ebay as Gerben 1956 makes and sell stainless ones but only as sets of 4 i think

I'm scouring eBay now but it's hard to find a part with no name. Hoping I don't have to buy an entire carb but I may have to.

Found one on eBay, I went ahead and bought it for $15. And what's with being charged tax for online purchases lately?

Tax charged is whatever percentage your states sales tax percentage is.

Point being you didn't used to get charged sales tax for out of state purchases.
