I should have one, but I won't have the spring that goes on it. PM your address to me and post a pic of how yours is broken?

Re: anybody have a extra mixture control solenoid

Crap. You're looking for the piece for the two barrel. I didn't see you engine size earlier. I don't have one but will look around.

Carbs unlimited has it for around $45, but hold on if you can, I'm going to the JY tomorrow and don't mind looking for one for you.
