Marvel Schebler - Which rebuild kit? 9N

[Anonymous-0]

Hello,

I'm looking to order a rebuild kit a Marvel-Schebler carb off of 1941 Ford 9N and I hoping someone can help with identifying the right kit. Online I see two kits -- one for a TSX33 (Part No: C545V) and another for TSX241A/B/C (Part No: C546V). Both kits indicated that they are for models from 1939 to 1952 for 2N, 8N and 9N.

The only number on the bowl of the carb is a "1FU" stamped into the side along with a number "8."

Does anyone know which kit is correct or how to determine this?

Thanks,
Brian

Well if in fact you have an M-S carb then that kit is correct. M-S carbs come in 3 or 4 sizes small med. and large and extra large. The same kit that fits the carb on the N serise fords also fits the carbs on and Oliver 60 and a lot of others also. BTDT and do a lot of carbs off an one and keep kits laying around because of that

When you say the kit will work, do you mean the TSX33 (Part No: C545V) kit or the other -- or both?

Either one should work but if its the cab that came on it when new it should be a TSX33, the 241 is the one for the later model ones. But as I said I use the same kit on all of them and have never had any problems

that tractor should ahve had a tsx33.. on it.. however it certaintly could have been switched to a 241 variant.. ( or a zenith! ).. I'd grab the 241 kit.

Tag is easily overlooked. If you're installing a basic or intermediate kit, most of the generics will fit either carb and basically run the tractor.

For full kits that include the nozzle & jets, it is best to I.D. the carb and get the right kit, there are not all the same. Go to this link and do some browsing on the tsx33 & then do a search for the tsx241.

Thanks for the replies. There's no indication of a brass tag and no distinguishing numbers that I can see short of a "1F U" on the plate.

In doing a search on TSX in the discussion group, I came across a posting by GasPump in Feb07 (see link below) where he states that the 241B is a better kit even if the carb is a TSX33 as it comes with some minor adjustments to the jets including a slightly larger economizer jet as the original TSX33 jet easily plugged. Interested in your thoughts here, but my thinking is to go with the 241B kit regardless.

I have a 2N that had a TSX 241B the kit i bought was a complete Kit . it is sold to rebuild the 33 , 241A, B, and C it had two or three parts that were not needed for my 241B. The 9N and 2N came with the TSX 33
