Hello,

    The Metering Rod in the Carburetor on a Toro  521 I bought  is bent. The dealer said the new carb's are now non adjustable. So looks like my only alternitive is a used Carburetor.

Tecumseh  Toro 521 model 38052 / Serial 7016883
Engine/Motor Model #  HSSK50-67259F
old carb part number 632107 then  640084B
This Item Has been replaced with a TP640084B

  Not sure what you mean by metering rod - is that the main jet adjust?  If yes you can a rebuild kit that includes it for about 8-10 dollars. 

   If you look around the net suppliers you can probably find someone with old stock of that carb for 40-50 dollars.  The 521 had a long run and broken engines for them very available for very little, even free.   That style engine was used for years by many other manfs so lots of broken ones around.

   I picked up a machine with one of the new no-jet carbs and am no so fond of it.
