Not sure if they'd have something like this, but I've previously bought rebild kit parts for this model carb from Gower & Lee.

What do you mean by choke pull down? This is the choke pull-off diaphragm. Usually comes in the rebuild kit.

Thanks everyone I will try Gower and lee.

The offending part is also referred to as a throttle damper unfortunately I can't upload a pic for the life of me but for reference it's on page 4a-7 (part 12) in Haynes manual lol

Alternatively I can source a 1.9 DG pierburg carb and manifold second hand and replace everything?
