Ethan1 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hello, I have a Carter WGD 928S carburetor. Old throttle shaft retaining ring no good. Need another one. Goes on the end of the throttle shaft, when installed in cast iron base. It looks like a thin washer with teeth on the inside. Going original and definitely need this retaining ring. Please let me know if you have one. Contact etrowb@msn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan1 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 It is part number 63-118. Need two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan1 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Does anyone think $100 for 2 of these throttle shaft retaining rings is a "bit" much? They are about the size of a nickel and are like a thin washer with teeth on the inside. I can't see shipping UPS or FedEx these two little rings for $100. That is what someone quoted me.

Packard Don Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 It sounds like a good price for 100 of them or if 2 are being custom made for you but for only 2 off the shelf, it's extremely high. I did some only research but without knowing the shaft size, I don't know if those I found would work. Surely there is something already made that will do the job even if it looks slightly different.

Ethan1 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Don, it is for two original ones that are in excellent condition. He is wanting $100 shipped via UPS or FedEx and be paid by MoneyGram. Something sounds fishy. At least to me. He won't send a photo either. Also, the shaft size on the 928S WGD is .3743 and on the 725SA WCD it is .3776. I can find them, but they look COMPLETELY incorrect. I guess that is what I should expect.

Packard Don Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 It sounds fishy to me too so I would steer very clear of that person. Did you find them through this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Cut a small groove in the shaft and use a standard hardware store "E" or "C" clip, about 25 cents each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD in KC Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 You can get a complete used 928S on ebay right now for less than $100. Under the circumstances, I wouldn't touch that "deal" with a ten foot pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Don Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Perhaps this site has what you need and they look very close to the original design: http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-1253.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is what I should expect. As a former journeyman toolmaker (prototype machinist), I frequently worked in tolerances at the fourth and even fifth decimal place so I appreciate the accuracy of the measurements. Of course, as far as the retainer is concerned, it is simply a 3/8" diameter shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are about as close as I have seen. Will order some! Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packard Don Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 They also have others that may be even closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Don Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Here are some that are a bit closer but I'm not sure if the company sells retail in small quantities. It wouldn't hurt to ask, though. http://www.arconring.com/stamped-retaining-rings/external-push-on/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much!!! Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Don Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I've been talking with them too and the one you want is 1405-37 but I've not seen a drawing of that specific part, only of the series in general. However, I've asked for one. Edited June 25, 2015 by Packard Don (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
