4732 carb cracked.
also where did this little part come from? Looks like a smaller needle and seat type thing?
Thanks!
Anyone have a 4732s?

OK who knows how to read the green tag and the date on my carburetor are they both made in 69? J69 and 253-9
253 rd day of year? 69?
Thanks

2539 = two hundred fifty third day of 1969 = July 10, 1969
J9 = September 1969

At least it was easy to find what the problem with the carb was!

Did that needle valve fall out of the carb? It looks like a float needle valve.
If you know a good aluminum welder, that may be repairable, which might be important if you want to use the original carb. It will take a lot of work to clean it up to hide the weld.
