Most of us don’t have a gasket making kit,so start by making the small holes first, then putting a bolt in them to hold the material while you finish tapping out the gasket.

My ‘51 B does the same... so I shut the fuel valve off when I park it. My ‘57 JD 720 does have the auto shutoff; it opens with oil pressure. There is a button on top of it to open the valve to ‘prime’ the bowl.

All the new DLTX Floats are still made of Brass. Sweat soldered like they've always been done. The Older DLTX3 Carbs have a Nitrophyl Float available to replace the cork floats

You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last months xD

[@zaidkaleb4933]

@Lachlan Roberto Yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D

[@balsam32]

doing this now,changed oil and lots of gas in it.good video

[@Marine-iu3ev]

Looking for info on how to set the load and idle needles on the carb (DLTX 67). I believe you turn in the valve all the way and then turn it out a turn and a half, not certain.

ROUND AND MY DAD NEVER HAD A WATCH BUT HE MADE IN FOR LUNCH WHAT A DIFERENT TIME IVAN FROM ILLINOIS.

[@PaulCTownsend]

Great video and great job thank you.

Fuel shut off is on sediment bowl all john deere 2 cylinders have that

[@francispearsall697]

Armature day with the soldering shop you should buy a soldering gun instead of the torch

[@mbakken11]

Had a similar fuel shutoff issue on a model A and it was because the new all metal needle wasn't sealing on the seat properly. Put the old rubber tipped one back in (not sure if it was original or not - I assume not) and the problem went away. I leave the fuel on all the time now and it never leaks

[@OzziesOddities]

pretty nice, you'll get it all straightened out.

[@silentdeath9237]

Yea they had a fuel shut off valve operated by oil pressure

[@400brian]

I know that our 620 ( which was a LOT newer ) had the oil pressure fuel shut off.

[@a1936deere]

Don't need any automatic shut off. Shut off fuel bowl, run till engine dies, open petcock on bottom of bowl if concerned that fuel bowl and/or needle & seat don't hold. New float is less than $30, new needle & seat less than $20, gasket set $10. Usuallt that's all they ever need.

[@DanielMeyer-ls5ph]

I shut off the fuel at the sediment bowl- problem solved.

[@montiraruba2831]

My '51 B has a drain valve at the bottom of the carburetor so I can drain the bowl if I know that I am not going to be running my B for a while.

DLTX Carb Gasket Sets i get on Ebay for $4.75 Ea.

[@a1936deere]

It's (fuel in crankcase) a common human error problem.

[@JohnSmith-fs4dx]

Did you ever solve? Same problem with my H

[@DanielMeyer-ls5ph]

The frame and the seat tell you that it’s a 48-52

[@clifforddgreen1296]

What year was that B that you were working on ? Because my me did not have a carburetor that look like that

[@ivanpainter357]

ANYTIME THE CARBURATOR IS LOWER THAN FUEL TANK ALL TRACTORS AND OLD CARS SUCH THEY ;PUT A SHUT OFF I JUST PUT A EXTRA ONE BROBLEM SOLVED A BETTER FIXER IS RUN THAT OLD TRACTOR EVERY WEEK SITTING IS THE REAL PROBLEM BUT MY DAD USED HIS OLD TRACTOR EVERYDAY WHEN I SEE OLD TRACTORS IN A JUNK YARD I SEE OLD MEN AND THEIR STRAW HATS THAT OLD TRACTOR WAS THEIR FIELD COMPANION AND THAT OLD DOG THAT MADE EVERY ROUND

[@mikeness5173]

I always turn the fuel off on my old tractors, I'm wondering what the fu*k are you thinking? Then I'm wondering, why would you want to make it more complicated with an electric valve that will just cause problems? What is so difficult about turning on the fuel while checking the oil? You do check the oil, don't you?
