1943 Farmall H Carb Rebuild Question

CVA59 · Dec 6, 2009

I just got my carb kit in and started the rebuild today. However, I have noticed there is a small round hole in the very bottom of the carb bowl right next to the fuel adjusting needle. I can see all the way thru it. It appears as if once there might have been some type of small rubber plug or something there. There was nothing in the kit to plug this hole back with. The hole is not threaded or anything. It is about the size of a pencil tip or slightly larger. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Zack

Hi Zack,

That's a drain hole. There should be some felt packing up there. If there isn't, I would just get some felt material and fill it in. The kit didn't come with a new felt plug?

Like Mike said that is a drain hole and it definately needs the felt in it.

Where did you get your rebuild kit and how complete it is?

Most kits you see at the local supply shops for around $20 are worthless. I go to my local CaseIH and buy the complete kit. I know it freaks a guy out when you hear the price but you are actually getting a "complete" kit and not just a couple random carb parts.

You'll have to pry that plug out. Take a small punch that will fit in that hole to get it out. You'll then put the little felt filler in there and you'll have to take the new plug and drive it in. The new one will be "dished"...take a punch that is just about the same diameter as the plug but still small enough to fit in the hole of the carb. Drive it in with enough force to flatten it out some so that it basically wedges itself in the hole of the carb.

If you have anymore questions on the rebuild just ask.

That filler and plug should be available through CaseIH. 60947D is the part number.

Here is the rebuild kit i got. I think i figured it out now. There is a felt plug with a hole in the middle. I put it in and popped the little round washer back in place. Looks right now, at least i hope so anyway, LOL.

My felt plug looked like crap. But Loren (RustyFarmall) told me it's only there to give fuel a place to drip out. So it can look like crap.
