Any ideas on where to find a good used carb for an older HH60 Tecumseh. Mine
literally broke off after the tiller and I got in an argument.

It's too old to spend the money on a new one!

A new one is probably less than $65.00, By the time you find a used one
(if possible) and purchase a rebuild kit and spend time rebuilding it
you could have the new one on and be done with it. Also there is a non
serviceable check valve in that carb., If it's stuck you will have
wasted money on that used one.

Is anything else where the carb is mounted damaged or missing?

No, nothing else got damaged. But the Carb broke at both bolt holes.

Thanks A lot for the info. I used to work on these quite a bit 20 years ago
and I don't even remember being aware of that check valve... what is the
check valves purpose?

If you remove the float bowl and look on the side of the carb. where
the main jet is you will see another area on the side running the full
length with what looks like a small BB in the end of it. inside this
area is a vacuum port area with a small BB inside. When the engine is
not running this BB drops to the bottom and closes a port so you have a
rich start-up mixture, Once started the vacuum pulls the BB up to open
the port for a leaner fuel mixture to run.
If this gets stuck it will cause a rich run condition all the time and
run rough and hunt. I've tried years ago to open one up to clean and
there's no way without destroying the carb. .
Take care
