Not sure this is still a Live topic ,, but just in case it is live . Does anyone have # for a carb kit for the carb on a Wisconsin on a C99 .
I wouldn't mind a copy of that manual & parts list if any are still available . My history , I bought my first C99 @35-40 years back after it had spent some 15-20 maybe hard years at a rental yard . Yea , they frame was bent , the front part was frozen but we worked through it . I bought another one from a rental yard in Santa Clara CA that had put like 10-15 of them on their side lot & forgot about them . I was taking back a skid steer one day when I noticed what looked like a pair of C-99 handle bars stickin out . I went over & pulled some of the branches away & saw 3 C-99 underneath with several more behind them , so as we were finishing up my paperwork I asked what the deal was with them . Guy said take as many as ya want for 200 a piece . Didn't take much for me to respond " I'm yer Huckelberry " & told them to pull out some of them so I could check them out & I would be back the next day . When I went back the manager told me I should charge 500 but I did tell ya 200 , It was a lot more work gettin them out than I though it would be . Turn's out that the plant engulfing the C-99 starter towards the front of the building & had grown through each & every unit that was back there . He said it took 2 of my guys the better part of the day to dig out 5 of them . SO I did some lookin & picked the best of the 5 & had them put it in my truck . Took some parts here & there over the years to keep the first one going . Against my better judgement I loaned it to the hubby of a gal that worked for my wife . Yep it came back with no transmission , so I took the one off the spare & fixed it . Last week she tells the neighbor he could borrow it , so then I had to make it run aftr sittin for the last 5 years . Dodged a bullet cause when I pulled the carb apart th rubber tip on the needle fell off in my hand . Dodged a bullet this time .
thanks
sorry for the long story , but sometimes when I get going I can't help it
thanks

Quite the adventure story. I just sent the manuals including the ones for the engine. I have to imagine that the carb part you are looking for should be available somewhere.
Best wishes and keep us posted,
