mkirsch said: (quoted from post at 05:16:10 05/29/09) Why are you buying a new carburetor anyway?

Unless it is smashed or missing, and you can't find a used one to rebuild at a scrap yard, there's absolutely no reason to buy new.

If you think you're getting around the frustration of rebuilding the carb by buying new, think again. Most new carbs need to be disassembled and fixed due to rough handling during shipping. You'll have the same problem with the new carb as the old, so you may as well save yourself the hundreds of dollars and just get a $25 rebuild kit. It may take two three four or more tries to get the float right, but once you get it, you'll know how to do it for the next tractor.


I agree, but only to a point. If the carb is from a tractor that is currently running, and has been in regular use, then it is no big deal to open it up and install a new float valve,

However, if that carb came off of a tractor that has been setting in a fence row for the last 20 years, you've got an entirely different situation, and if you DON'T know what you are doing, you can very quickly turn an irreplaceable carburetor into just another pile of scrap iron. I've got a box full of such carburetors that were sent to me as potential cores. There is not a useable part in the whole box.
