Hi there,

I rebuilt my Aisan carburetor but there's a washer that broke off. I can't find a part number for a replacement. I've attached a screenshot which shows the washer, spring and clip. This was taken from Robert Walker's (forum member, xirdneh) Aisan carburetor teardown video at around 57:40 ...
