Itty bitty cotter pins

[aljewett]

Does anybody know where I can get those really tiny cotter pins that Homelite uses on their choke assembly?
TIA

I'm in the same boat. I don't feel like spending $3 each so I'm going to buy a box of hair pins. I think they were 0.030".

Just stick in a small wire and bend both ends.

Not in something I sell.

McMaster Carr sells 3/64x1/2, 100 pcs for less than $8, buy a batch and sell them for $1.00 each to all your Homelite buddies.

Oddly one of the items that didn't triple in price there. I was waiting till I had a few other items to order.

I believe I have some tiny cotter pins. I'll check when I got over to my shop.

Hardware stores usually have them.

I have not seen any that size in the assortments, on Amazon or fleabay. The Brass OEM ones are $2 + $5 shipping, use a piece of wire or do what Mark said and order $100 for $8 from McMaster.

I ended up just using a piece of wire. Works 100%/
