Elgin 3.5 hp year?

[Buccaneer]

Looks like Mr. Mumbles was having the same problem with that pesky spring in the Walbro carb.
Just found this thread from a while back.

I’m not sure I left the spring in the carb last time I worked on it, if not, not sure I’ll find it again.
I would not have thrown it out, but where I put it is the question!

Anyway, time to go to the garage and have a look-see.

Mumbles carb…….

It’s the trusty ol 3.6 Scott made since ’47, with the annoying modification by McCulloch ( switching carb from Tillotson to Walbro). Your model Id says ’63, which is the first year Sears marketed it as 3.5 .

Nice little putt-putt if you can get the carb to behave…

I found the annoying little float pin spring I stashed away, and re-installed it
like seen in Mumbles photos, but I have not throw in back in the test barrel
to see what happens…… it was a much needed all day down pour that day,
but I’ll throw it back in the barrel today.

Prepare to be boarded!
