On a similar note, I need a backplate gasket for a COMO .40. A Super Tiger would do as well.

Thanks in advance.

Cut a new one from an index card or manila envelope, or just use a thin bead of sensor safe RTV silicone.

I cannot offer any assistance on the thread size for the previous post, but I’d suspect it to be an ISO standard metric thread. Probably 2.5mm or 3mm would be my guess.

The pitch will likely be .50mm - which AFAIK is standard pitch for small metric screws.

I think you're talking about this Super Tigre spray bar: the threads are 5 mm x .5 pitch.

Woops, I'm on the wrong side of the carb.

Best I can do for now of photo of carb if you scroll back to this post and the needle closest in the photo is the one I meed

It would be .5 pitch if a 4 mm screw, I no longer have that engine nor a carb like it. Sorry.

I have purchased several rings from Gavin during the time Bowman was handing over his business. Gavin makes very good items IMO

With a crank that short, I’d suspect it was intended for buggy duty despite
having an airplane style head on it.

is that the weird sized bearing that the S90K uses? I remember having to send the crank housing to you to have a sleeve pressed in to use a smaller more standard bearing.
