Hitachi VC42 gaskets!

offroadkid · Post by **offroadkid** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 9:20 am

Okay, so it looks like I'm going to need a gasket, (or even better a gasket kit) for my Hitachi carburetor as mine is in sad shape after taking the top off yesterday. I did a Google search but didn't find anything.

Does anyone know where I can locate one? Or would a local carburetor shop possibly have one? Mike Carburetors lists a parts kit, but I don't think it's for a VC42.

Thanks!

Please check this post from member Pancho that has very good info regarding this carb:

http://www.60patrol.com/forum/viewtopic ... 60&p=17139

He lists part numbers for the repair kit. FuelMiser HT409

I think that I have a spare accelerator pump (leather cup), the needle valve for the inlet, and some jets. I don't have a gasket.

I'm sure we could arrange something where I could buy it and mail it to you. Just need a wire transfer for the dollars I suppose.

That's an easy fix mate. I'll buy it and send it to you.

Thanks a lot to both of you! Unfortunately the seller replied and said..

"It is correct that I don't send outside of Australia , but I do sell if you have friends in Australia I can send the item to and they can forward it on, however the HT-409 kits I had, have both been sold to the same chap today.

Regards, Paul"

We almost had it in the bag!!
