Tisco Carb Kit

My dad, being the great dad he tries to be, knew I needed to rebuild my H carb and bought me a TISCO kit. it looks like a decent quality kit, however the instructions are a little lacking. 1, ist it a decent kit? 2, does anyone have a link or better instructions they can send me as to the overall procedure?

I have the complete set of instructions. They are included in the rebuild kits I sell. I will also tell you that you will encounter some difficulties with the fit and finish of several parts in that kit. Tisco does make good kits but they just can't seem to get things quite right in the Farmall H kit.

I"m like you. Just got an SM and came home to new oil and filter. Love gifts from dad for the tractor. I k ow it"s off topic a bit but still close.

Would you have this part for a model B carb?

thanks

They can't quite get things right in the Cub kits, either. Incomplete or wrong instructions, fit and finish problems, all seem to be typical problems.

How are the Tisco tune-up kits? Points, condensor, and rotor for $10.XX at Farm & Fleet seems to be a good deal if they are ok. My B starts hard and I am sure that and some plugs couldn't hurt it.

The last Tisco tune-up kit I bought for an IH distributor on an M I had to bend/twist the points quite a bit to get them to align squarely. Might have been just the kit I bought, I don't know. I've have had better luck with Tisco kits for D-R distributors.

The last A&I kit I bought the rotor was junk. You could slide the contact piece around about 1/4 inch.

The last "genuine" CIH ignition parts I bought the cap woudn't even come close to fitting properly. They must have changed suppliers or something about a year ago.

All imported condensers seem to be of questionable quality. Some work fine, some make your points look like you welded on them after 5 hours, some just quit. I try to reuse my old condensers if the points look fairly decent for the hours that are on them.

Lately I've been buying NAPA/Echlin ignition parts. Pricey, but they fit and hold up well. I have also had good luck with Standard and Blue Point ignition parts in the past, too.

Years ago, nearby TSC or QFF stores stocked "Standardized" ignition parts in a bubble pack. The other had "Sorensen" ignition parts. Both were good bang for your buck.

The holes in some of the aftermarket bowl gaskets are usually a bit off. Make sure you use good packing for the main fuel adjustment screw if it isn't in the kit. When you get the carb apart, make sure you shake your float to be sure it doesn't have a hole in it. Check for throttle shaft bushing wear too.

Some folks curse the rubber-tipped needle seats, but I think they're in the CIH kits, too. The rubber-tipped ones stick once in a while and the old style steel ones can seep.

Always check dimensions of the main nozzle before swapping it out if it's in the kit. I can't speak for Tisco's kits, but A&I's nozzles are sometimes wrong. Compare all shafts, butterflies, etc., to your old ones.

Don't toss any old parts until you are happy with the way your tractor runs with the new parts in the carb.

First you need to determine if your problem is fire or fuel. I have 10 Bs and the As they all start easy just have to pinpoint whether gas or fire.

I tried to email, but I couldn't. My B could probably use a tune up no matter what. The plug wires are mismatched and judging by the rest of the tractor it hasn't been done in quite a while.

I've never had a problem with any of the Tisco tune-up kits I have used on my own tractors, and I've never had a complaint or a return from a customer.
