I have a TT 61 that is about 10 years old and need an air bleed screw for the carb. I have checked Tower and a few other places but can't seem to find a place that stocks parts. Anyone know where I can look to find this? Or even a carb?

Carb would run around $30.
Ted,
Not sure as I no longer have any TT engines, but this is most likely just a
2mm slotted head screw. Check one to see if it fits, and if it does I'd recommend you use a hex head 2MM screw dremeled to the length you need. A small spring from a Bic lighter or whatever should take care of the tension dept. If it's the same size as the one in a OS .40FP, I'm sure I have a few in my stash...Bill

He's looking for an airbleed screw or carburator, not a tru turn spinner adapter.
Thunder Tiger parts are available from a number of online resellers:

I've done business with all of the above Thunder Tiger resellers. At this moment, I'm expecting a cylinder head for my TT F-91s from Paul's Model Supply. He services and sells parts for a wide variety of glow engines. Paul stocks Webra engines and parts as well as doing a good deal of business with Thunder Tiger engines.
If you can't find the Ace Hobby part number for an air bleed screw for a GP-61 engine, I'd recommend that you start with Paul's Model Supply. If you know the part number, it should be available at any of the above sites.
Good luck and good shopping!
I may have a screw. Is this the TT 60 Gp? mk
Thanks for al the great responses. I called many places and struck out. I then did the obvious. I found a similar but not perfect screw (2.5 mm), cut a piece off the spring and threaded it into the screw hole. Will fly it tomorrow. Thanks again.
