    Cheap Carbs

    I need to edit my post . The 4 screws that hold the top half are not 1/4 - 20 . They are very close and physically worked but not correct . Same with the plug and fuel inlet . Very close but sloppy . I will probably never see if I can tap it with an 1/8 npt . I have too many other things on my...

    Cheap Carbs

    I used the four screws to fasten the new top to the MS base . I have disassembled lots of overseas parts that had thread locker even though it did not need it . I'm not going to guess why they did . There was no spring holding the needle to the float on this unit . The choke plate assembly...

    Cheap Carbs

    I bought a cheap $38 carb a few years ago . I took it apart today . The screws and such were not metric and consistent with what would come is a cheap rebuild kit . None of the screws had thread locker applied and removed easily . The top half bolted to an old MS bottom and the bottom half to...

    8N Carb TSX-241B Vs TSX-33

    It has been awhile since I have worked on an N carb and I don't remember the fine details . I don't think the economizer circuit had anything to do with fuel efficiency but more to do with the pressure difference when transitioning from idle to the power circuit since there is not an accelerator...

    Sherman transmission. Any benefit for finish mowing?

    My Sherman combo was nice if I wanted to go very slow or very fast . I did not have much need for going slower and only used high driving down the road . It did not help any mowing . I sold it for $700 and never regretted it .

    Storing used tires

    I picked up some used tires that I want to store for future use . They are 8.25 x 20 tires that fit my old school bus I use for storing cattle feed and fence supplies . The current tires are 30+ years old and will someday go flat / dry rot . I plan on pressure washing the spares and storing them...

    OT 1949 F1 Ford Manifold Repair

    I had an extra set that I split the two haves and cut the intake down a few inches . I made a plate and bolted them back together . No governor and a sheet metal hood extension . had it since the mid 80's

    OT 1949 F1 Ford Manifold Repair

    As I remember ( little fuzzy ) the intake and exhaust are two pieces bolted together but nearly impossible to separate after decades of heat cycles . I had one apart years ago and that would give the independent pieces some flex . It may be possible to fix one set with a bad exhaust and another...

    Air / Fuel meter

    Any one use one of these and have any reviews ? I see a lot of post that their carb isn't adjusted right . I guess you could weld in a bung and install this temporarily to check under different load conditions . $40 https://www.ebay.com/itm/403711222313

    Quick question about 8N cam follower pin.

    Yes , .309 is the correct diameter . Also used on the FE Ford camshafts ( most of the Ford V8's of that era ) . Looks like a lot of replacement pins are 5/16" or .3125 , even for the camshafts . I do not see a reason not to weld it up . It will still be harder than the cast iron that it...

    Can a 53 Jubilee flywheel be installed 180 degrees off?

    At tdc the #1 intake just closed and the #4 exhaust just closed . Both pistons would be at TDC at the same time . I run my valves by making the companion valve down while I adjust the loose one . Starting from the front I set the second valve down and adjust the first , turn by hand until...

    A piece of 8N history: X-8N1

    The clutch pivot is not the early 47 style as with the radius rod pins . Could have been changed ? John Smith said the early 8n's did not have "8N" cast into the block behind the starter . I am not sure but it looks like this block may have the "8N" cast into it ...
