I was over on the classified section of YT and saw an ad for trade of an H' distillate carb for a non distillate carb. Can anyone tell me the difference? Thanks, Andy

The seat for the main metering needle valve is the only internal difference. Petcock as mentioned is the other.

Hi Andy. I'm the guy who was offering to make a trade, and I have a person who is trading with me to get the distillate carb and the 1-gal. gas tank for starting.

I think it is correct that the distillate carb works fine with gas. My "H" ran with that carb just fine. Probably takes some readjustment, but no one uses distillate now.

The jets were different--the distillate or kerosene carb was part of a package that included a different manifold, head, and pistons (at least on the H and M). The distillate or kerosene engine makes more power on distillate/kerosene than it does on gasoline because that's what it was designed to use. The pure gasoline engine makes the most power. Whether or not a gasoline carb will make more power in an unchanged distillate/kerosene engine run on gasoline, I don't know.

The distillate carb has a petcock in the bowl so you can drain out the fuel and then refill with gasoline for starting. The gas carb has a pipe plug in place of the petcock. Other than that the two carbs are so similar that there is no need to swap one for the other. I own a 1940 H and a 1940 M. Both of these tractors were originally distillate burners and both are still running with the original carbs, even though they were both switched to gasoline many years and countless hours ago.
