You can always "make" one. I had a carb that needed one and since I couldn't find one, I made one. Not as hard as you may think. I used some thin aluminum sheet and punched out the size I needed and installed it. Still working perfect to this day. Just an idea if you can't find one...

I am assuming that welch plugs are not unique to each carb manufacturer, so if you can't find one that fits, look for other carbs in that size range and see what is offered. Most of the time a welch plug comes with a carb rebuild kit and therefore not listed as a separate part. So maybe you can find one with a rebuild kit. As I stated above, I made one for a carb when I needed one "NOW" to get an engine running again. And a simple punch a little larger then the hole and then a ball bearing ball tapped into the center of one side gives you that domed fit. And it works perfectly...

I am assuming that you have an F6. A four stroke.

Are you talking about the EPA plug that is used to try and prevent someone from tampering with the idle mixture screw?
