Seeing if there’s anyone here that would have on hand or know how to get the 2nd valve slide kicker assembly for a 45slp. When I recently got mine one of the previous owners removed it but didn’t save the parts. The B&S spare parts catalog doesn’t list it as it’s probably no longer built. Been trying to get an answer from the shop’s Buffet rep but that’s been a dead end.
Thanks!

You may just want to reach out to the product specialist, Warren Kus. He's usually pretty helpful, but also very busy and sometimes difficult to get a hold of. Warren.Kus@buffetcrampon.com Office: 904-821-0234
Buffet parts are infamously slow and hard to get sometimes, but Warren may be able to tell you if it is possible to get the part still. Generally, the best way to get an answer from Buffet USA is to call them.

I'm sure these guys will be able to help with B&S too, as they're made in the same factory. I've emailed Warren Kus mostly, who set me up with Ruben Gedlaman, who I believe is their parts manager. Here's how I've done it: Ruben can get me the part numbers, and any Buffet dealer can order those specific parts. BE AWARE - I've gotten an educator discount because I order through the company that services my schools. I wouldn't count on our prices being the same.
I haven't ordered from these guys in a long while, but that's how I did it. If you need help finding a dealer, check with your repair guy, or check with big music rental companies (Quinlan & Fabish in the Midwest is who I used).
Be prepared to wait for 4-8 months depending on what/when you order, and expect to pay tariffs and import dues.
