Cub 149nCarb question

[Kevin Hendress]

I had to replace the carb on my 149 and not sure who I purchased one from but it looks like the carb should go on a 1250/1650. So my question is can I switch the lever in this carb or do I have to buy another? Getting tired of choke being all the way in just to start engine. Of course choke is all the way out to run {:.

You can switch any choke lever to any carb with no problem, other than breaking off those nasty little brass screws doing it.

File the ends of the brass screws flush with the choke rod before unscrewing them and they will come out without twisting off.

Make sure you use new screws and either thread locker, or stake the ends to prevent the screws from backing out and getting sucked into the engine.

Be careful and don't lose the tiny spring and ball when removing the shaft once you get the choke plate off!!

Where do we find those small choke screws? Have a couple carbs that need them. Maybe Charlie has some!!

I don‘t know where to get them, but I know where I would put them if I had some...

Go to McMaster-Carr and get a box of a 100 for around 5 bucks. 3-48 x 1/4"

In the last few yrs I've taken apart 2 engines that had those screws imbedded in the top of a piston..Point is amen to thread locker.....
