could someone please take a couple of pics of the carborator section of their mep-18a. I am missing a couple of the springs and need to know where they connect.

I will try to hook you up this weekend. I looked mine over today and one spring I see is the return spring for the choke control. Other than that I am not sure of any other springs. There is a spring on the govenor control lock knob. You just need the picture from the top of the carb, right? If you want to drive out to the Ann Arbor area you can look at what I have. I am home in the mornings and most of the time on the weekends.

I just might do that.

Meanwhile, perhaps this will help. The automatic choke linkage is missing on mine, but it is easily handled manually and the unit runs great.

Snuck in a picture of the oil filter also, think it came up on a different thread.

Bjorn, I think by you missing the automatic choke, you are missing the spring in question.... Chris, I think the only spring you are looking for, is one that holds the choke in the open position when running. From what I have seen, they hook just about anywhere, primarily running from where the manual cable connects, to the bracket on the right side of the carb in the second picture above. Dont use too heavy of a spring, as the auto choke needs to be able to pull it still, and a too light of spring may allow the choke to close when running.

Oh, well I tried..

Highlighted here.

well the pics helped me be able to describe what he needed (was too lazy to go track down one of the 5kw's)
