farmall super a carb cleaning

[@customcutter100]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to try starting the Super AV of my FIL's tomorrow, it hasn't been started in over 15 years. Those were some good tips on the fuel leaking out of the bottom of the bowl or from the intake boot area if the float was stuck open. I'll also remember the "bump" on the float bracket if I have to rebuild/clean the carb.

Good luck my friend thanks for the comment.

Needle valve are the words you were missing. The float moves the needle valve to control fuel level in the bowl. Your explanation was clear and easy to follow for disassembling, cleaning and reassembling carb.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment Gerald Trice I'm always missing something I have a hard time with words.

A few weeks ago I had to clean out the carburetors on 2 of our lawn mowers. I noticed you do the same thing I do when you blow out a jet port with air you blow both ways. Can’t wait to hear it run.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Still know spark.

[@owensmith5104]

When you put the float back on I couldn’t tell if the small bump faces up or down. I have mine apart now and want to assemble the right way.. the bump was up when I took it apart.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I'm not sure with out seeing it sorry.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

It's going to be fun watching you get this old but y running! Thank you for sharing!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I hope I can still know spark.

It feels like it's getting close to a start, thanks for the series Kevin, very interesting. Be well my friend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

One day Hatch.

[@ralfie8801]

That's not a jet under the floats, that's the needle and seat. It shuts off the flow of fuel when the bowl is full, the floats push the needle up into the seat and close the passage to stop fuel flow.

[@gatorsworld]

Very good job on the card Kevin....think you got that part all done except the intake to carb gasket....comming along just fine....CHEERS

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Gator I will get that gasket and the pipe to the air filter after I get spark.

[@jmccracken491]

Upside down float will cause problems every time. Good job Kevin.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That's for sure Jim.

[@tylerdauphinee]

Trying to find the correct gasket rebuild kit. There are so many options and some don't look like they are quite the correct ones. Can you help direct me to it? I have the identical looking carbureator on a 1951 Farmall Super A. Thank you

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Sorry Tyler I sold this tractor so time back.

[@raymondgarafano8604]

check the fuel filter, if it is dirty, engine will not run well at higher speed.

[@TheWoodHaven]

I don't think I would have caught that float being upside down, but after you pointed it out, it was pretty obvious.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I didn't catch it until I was making the video.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Hey Kevin. The fuels these days sure raise hell with all fuel systems. Constant additives seem to help though to eat up the ethanol. I love these old carbs. Nice and simple and pro getting worked on as well. You have a nice and common sense post here today bud. Curious as to why you are not using carb cleaner ? Thanks eh. Picking up after others that mean well but screw things up has kept me in a living for years, LOL.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I didn't have know carb cleaner at the time I really just wanted to know why the float was sticking thank you for the comment Tomoko I am saving all my silver for a project I would like to incorporate it into a knife handle may need your help one day.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@Robinson-Homestead Holler any time you need bud.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

@@TomokosEnterprize thank you
