Hi everyone
Ive had my old 17a out working and for some reason the bottom fuel jet on the carburetor on the starting engine has come loose and fallen out during operation. Either that or some bugger is trying to have a laugh and has removed it
Would any of you good folks happen to have one of these kicking about that they coild send off to little old New Zealand? Quite happy to pay as shes in a gully and I cant start her without it
Any help as all ways would be greatly appreciated

I believe that uses a Zenith 261-8 carb.
Is it the Main Jet Adjustment Screw Assembly you are looking for?
That would be a Zenith part number C71-42.
Good luck finding one.

Comes down to a choice between a Cat #5M5446 or a 9F2903 adjustment screw assembly. Need carb number to pin it down.
Plenty of both listed on Machinery Trader Parts Search.

Your a legend thank Old Magnet
Had my 13 yr old son turn up from being on holiday today and had him using smaller arms than I and he found the bloody thing in the belly pan probably be 1000 to 1 odds
thanks so much for your help though

I dropped the pans on my Komatsu and found the original wing nut for the air cleaner, a 38 bullet, and a spare key for the start switch!
