12hp Briggs Carb Question

Somewhere the past few days I lost the round cupped plate that fits on the back end of my carburetor on my HB212.

I suspect I need to get a carb kit and tap in a new cupped plate. Any tips to make sure the cupped plate stays in place and doesn't pop out again?

Are you talking the welch plug?

I use a golf ball and give it a good tap to seat it in the groove. Then if you ant SealAll will hold it in place after that. And welch plugs from Briggs are still available as a single item.

I might just have a spare in my "spare carb parts box".

I put a few dabs of epoxy like JB weld on all of my welch plugs so I do not lose them.

I used the bottom of a soda can once. It had a nice inward radius.

I think someone uses an electricial cover

one that is used to cover a round hole

I believe the type that has a bolt in center to tighten it up

Thank you for the feedback. I'll stop over at the simplicity dealer today. Now need to find a part no.
