HB parts source?
Need carbs & muffler screws for a HB 40 & 60 (both PDP). These are used engines so don't want to spend a lot. Any ideas where I could find these? Thanks,

Try and locate a specialty store for fasteners (nuts, bolts and screws, etc). The should fix you right up at a fraction of the cost. I would use hex head machine cap screws and replace all as a set.

Hex head cap screws will be difficult to use with HB's. They have a special muffler scew with a long head that tightens into a recess on the block. Mecoa best bet.

RE: HB parts source?
Thanx for the link. Good source but new carbs are too expensive for these old engines of mine. They have both pulled many an Ugly Stik, etc thru the years but looks like they're on the retired list if I can't fine some cheap used parts to get em running again.
