The Ford Barn

Of course, while moving the small rod on the carb ( I believe the accelerator pump) attempting to put the tiny clip back on it went "ping" into the great unknown!

The pic shows the small hair-pin clip. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement and the size of this little guy?

As a recommendation , Go on E bay look up hairpin clip. A great resource on that site.

MSC or McMaster Carr, Amazon, EBay, NAPA-Take that picture and the diameter of the shaft with you to the local NAPA, bet they have "something" for you!!!

Ace Hardware has them for sure. While I was there, I also picked up a couple for the distributor vacuum arm, and they are allot smaller.

There might be one in a carb kit, if you might have one already.

I just entered carburetor linkage clip and a bunch came up. Napa had them.

Any one of the carb builders probably have them.

I would just put a cotter pin in there. Easy to get, and they dont fly away

Commonly called a "Jesus" clip because when it pops off and flys away,
you usually say "Jeeze"

Don't believe I have ever seen that model carb. that has a cotter pin hole.
