where to get extra carb needle clips?

[aznatama]

So... while trying to change the clip on ym PHBG 21mmm carb today, I thought I had it on, but it popped off, flying into the grass... Black clip and grass... impossible to find. good thing the clip from my old carb fit on the needle.

now I'm worried that if I need to change it again, I'll end up losing this clip again. Anyone know where to find extras that are not overpriced? preferable silver.

Thanks.

$1.33 is a lot for such a little clip, but if you are without one it would be worth much more.

If I was looking for a regular "C" clip (as pictured above) I would hit an auto tune-up shop (the older the better). Failing that: most large old time auto parts stores has clip assortments that you can buy from. Farther failing that: most, I guess I wanna say, junk tool stores (ie: Northern tool) sell small boxed assortments of stuff (target price seems to be $5-$10) and would probably be happy to sell you an assortment of "C" clips.

Note: once a "C" clip hides on you (be it in grass, or behind a work bench, or simply on the floor somewhere you can't see it) it becomes a "Jesus" clip: as in: where the Jesus did that thing go?

I almost want to think that I have compatible c-clips in my RC-car parts bin... but there's no way to verify this since I don't have it with me. :-(

I hate carb tuning...

I was gonna say Hobby shop RC car parts.

They are actually called "E-Clips"

You can use a tiny flat washer. Just cut it open so you can squeeze it around the needle with pliers.

I still don't know what sized e-clip to use though. Oh well, I think I'll be alright. I'm pretty sure it's at a good setting right now.

A carb needle is 2-3 mm's wide. Take the needle to a hobby shop and have them fit one.
