Yeah it's hard to find parts for older machinery. I'm repairing a Stihl back pack leaf blower. The thing really runs nice now only the gas tank has two cracks and leaking gas. NO PARTS AVAILABLE at least the gas tank anyway. Got some "Seals All" and used that on the tank. At least it no longer leaks, that stuff is really good. He'll probably get another two years out of it if he's careful.
