Finding Welch plugs

[Paddy60]

Hi folks,

I rebuilt my carbs last year with kits. I did another cleaning recently and don't need all the parts but just the welch plugs. On my 1975 70Hp Johnson, it appears to have on each carb; (2) 3/8" plugs and (1) 7/16" plug.

Anyone know of a good source to buy a bag of 10?

Re: Finding Welch plugs

Every outboard mechanic (usually) has a bunch of them in his goodies drawer. Or of course you can buy them at a dealer's parts dept. You can also get them at the Welsh plug mfr, but they have a minimum order----enough to last you and ten other people a lifetime.

EDIT: The mfr that invented them: Expansion Plugs, Spring Tension Washers, Hair Pin Cotters, Fourslide, Multislide, Stampings, Wireforms, Tubing, Assemblies
