Needle and Seat

[Goldeneyes]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a needle and seat for a carb off of a 1976 650XS. It seems to be a Tillotson TC3A carb. I would buy the whole kit if I could just find a seat. Every google and ebay search I do makes me think this carb is extremely hard to find parts for. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Call around to every mercury dealer you can find. Often you will find a shop that has a kit in inventory. It may take several calls, but I bet you will find one.

Try www.dougrussell.com They have the original drawings on line and you can pick out the parts you need.

Hi guys, thanks for the reply

I couldn't find anything on Dougrussell.com. I can barely find the TC3A in existence. Does anyone have any ideas? It's an aftermarket part that someone installed on this thing at some point and I definitely need at least 1 full carb kit for it.
