Thanks, Otto, I ended up using a c-clip like you posted above. I went ahead and did a search and checked out the 'images', and saw two different engines that were each using one of what your showing above. I have a box of various size c-clips here at the house, and some of the R clips (what I call them, anyway) down at our property for the tractor and implements. I put a 3/8" on there and it seems to work. We'll see. But thank you again for getting back so quickly. Lee
ps- it didn't go down the carb. It's way down below that just above the oil pan flange.
