    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    Last night I was thinking about it, and the final piece of the puzzle fell into place. It is like "Fate Is The Hunter". So let me take you "ONE STEP BEYOND". Last fall I had gotten in the last of the wood for the winter. My thoughts then, as a man's are wont to do that time of year, turned to...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    I'm on a computer. Here are a few pictures of the 336-4 MM engine that I found online. It is the same engine that is on the M5, and many others. You can see the arrangement much better since the fan and radiator are gone. The distributor has been removed on the two engine pictures but you can...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    "When all else fails, what is left, no matter how unlikely it is, must be the solution." Adding the ground wire fixed the problem. It now runs very well. This should not be an unknown problem. After all, there are a lot of old tractors out there. Age brings corrosion, even if it is just a thin...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    I wasn't going to say any more about it, but I suppose I should restate the symptoms and the solution together. With carb set at book settings, engine would idle OK then die after 15-20 seconds. It sounded like it was choking when it died, gave up with a puff of rich smoke. With the power...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    Problem finally solved: Bad ground to the distributor. I cleaned the air pre-cleaner and the breathers as well. There was less fuel in the intake, but there was still some, because the engine was running so poorly. I decided not to bother anyone until I found the real answer. Opened up the...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    Hi scootergmc and all, everybody loves a mystery novel, and it is because not all the facts are known right away. It is the journey that is of interest. Don't let this stop you from getting involved, look at it as entertainment. I am confident that I have found the solution, although it will...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    Not an ignition problem. Being that I intended to use the tractor in the winter, I wanted it to have the best possible chance of starting. Wiring was bad when I got it, so I rewired it completely. Also new plugs, spark plug wires, cap, rotor, and points. The starter is a Delco replacement so it...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    Weather was not as cold as predicted, about 0 today, so I put the carb with the new kit on; same results. Thanks showcrop, but the tractor does start and runs on all cylinders. It quits when it gets too much gas from what I call carb flooding, and belches rich smoke when it quits. Then it won't...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    Ole 54' It's just a way of eliminating the possibility of the float even touching the bowl. The tractor, as my handle implies, is an MM. It is a 70 hp M5. I grew up near the MM Minneapolis factory. I now live in Northern Minnesota, and I bought the tractor and a 7ft 3pt snowblower to clear a...

    TSX Carburetor Flooding

    This is for those searching for a possible answer to the problem of massive flooding in Marvel Schebler TSX carburetors. It is a test that I believe should always be made before final assembly of these carbs. Your float may be touching the bowl at some point. Here is how to easily find out...
