dual fuel carburetor

FMS-KS · Jun 2, 2008

We have a 1941 Farmall M that came out with a dual fuel Carburetor and manifold. The manifold cracked so we obtained a manifold for a gas tractor.

Since we changed the manifold we have had a problem with icing on the carburetor when it is around 32 degrees and it also has water form on the outside of the carburetor at warmer temperatures when it we have high humidity.

Would we be able to remedy this situation by obtaining a different carburetor?

Those of you that may have experiences with dual fuel tractors may know what we can do.

Thanks in advance

Would you believe all carb do that its just with the dual fuel one theres a plate on the manifold that warms up the intake part so you don't see it happen like on a normal gas manifold. Only way to stop it is go back with the dual fuel manifold. But as I said it happens to all carbs and if its wet out it does it more. It doesn't hurt any thing other then till they warm up some they can run ruff

The only difference between the dual-fuel or distillate carburetor is the size of the jets. And after all these years it probably has gas jets in it anyway. Yes, the icing is normal and in most conditions doesn't hurt anything. In some conditions it will ice up inside and choke the tractor til it won't run but if you let it set a few minutes the heat from the engine will thaw it enough it will run again. In feeding with a gas tractor in the winter I've only had it happen once on an extremely damp and frosty morning.
