Default Looking for help, Tecumseh 4.5 HP engine carb

I have a Tecumseh 4.5 HP engine, and it had set for quite a while before I
had it. Well, the carb is shot (the float sinks, increadable build up [I
blame the ethenol in the gas]. It is beyond what I am willing to try to
repair.
Where best to get a replacement carb?
Does it have to be an OEM?
Thanks in advance
Bert from Burke

Last summer I found a new carb for my old tiller on EBAY. Have you
looked there?

I've got a 5hp on my snow blower. I found all the parts I needed on ebay
but here's another site:

I took the carb off my HM80 in to a tool rental/small engine shop and
had it rebuilt for IIRC about $50. It is now back to starting on the
first pull.

Many dealers will clean and rebuild a Tecumseh carb for under $50.
There are several in the Twin Cities (Mnpls -St.Paul) that do it. That
includes the "kit" which includes gaskets, float, etc. The carb
comes back looking like brand new and the engine starts first pull
when the carb is re-installed.
