                First… Ede thanks very much for the offer

                Second: Success !! the little 1/8″ round clips in the above picture worked fantastic. I installed 2 to sandwich the carb link into it’s matching carb part ….see picture

                a close look shows 2 round clips on the link. What was great about it is that after removing the worn out 8$ plastic retainer there is a nice round groove in the link into which the push nuts locks solidly

                being galvanized spring steel they should last a long time $0.20 cents vs an $8.00 fix… plus shipping $$$

                    picked them up at Reno Depot ( A.K.A. Lowes across Canada probably) for 20 cents each I am certain they are available in any ” decent” hardware store

                    they come in various sizes the links on MQ carbs are exactly .125 ”

                    btw … not a beauty but my home made choke plate return spring works great with the 500 feet of .029″ piano wire I ordered 🙂 🙂

                    the OEM spring was selling for the price of 500 feet of piano wire on Amazon (free shipping to )
