Where can I buy Parts in Canada at reasonable Prices?

Man oh man what gives with Small engine part  prices in Canada. I need a new carb. For a Toro Single stage Part # 801396  The prices on ebay  are from $70 to $99 in Toronto the same part is $180. The other frustrating thing is many of the ebay sellers will not ship  to Canada. Toronto guys do you know any distributors in Canada where I can source Small engine parts.

This place does ship to Canada, and they have really nice parts diagrams too.

Thanks for the info they want $40 to ship to Canada. I will keep on looking

Thank-you for the info. I did find a used  carb. model 801396 this is a walbor steel carb which is a replacement for the 801255 plastic carb. The plastic carb would jam at wide open or at dead slow speed. I believe the cold and the tension of the mountong bolts warps the plastic  carbs. The new/used carb works like a dream I guess the plastic junk is good for summer use only. Oh at $50 it was much cheaper then the $180 from the local shops

Good to hear you found a carb for a reasonable price.   Where did you get a new carb for $50.00?

I said I bought a used carb for $50  all the shops in Toronto were the same price $180  Seems Toro has us by the short one here.  All dealers can only buy direct from Toro so the price was the same. I do know all dealers mark-up is 60%  If I were doing a good volume it would make sense to have a drop off in the US and have some-one re-mail the item to Toronto. Later
