953 nut 55,155 #52 Posted October 15 23 hours ago, ebinmaine said: On the 10 to 16 HP .... Trash. The one and only offshore carb I bought was for a 10 HP but listed for 10 to 16 HP. It ran but wouldn't idle down and baulked on throttle-up. It had the 26mm throat which was correct for the 10 to 12 HP but when I opened it up I saw the main jet was much larger which would have been on the 14 to 16 HP engine. That thing was never going to work well on either one as shipped. I changed out the main jet and needle from the old Carter as well as replacing the plastic float and all went well. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,450 #53 Posted October 17 @WHX?? Sounds like this three pager is getting close to being done. That is the best part having good friends as a project. I have at one time found one sitting under a deck or a porch for 25 years. Brought that one back to life. I hope you enjoy it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On working tractors I don"t know it that makes any difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,600 #55 Posted October 21 @ohiofarmer regularly " feed " any painted surface with lubrication, especially the older neglected anything , usually like a penetrating type oil spray first , for a spray / soak penetration , also like a warm finish / indoors or outside sun , to enhance paint feed . clean soft cloth with more penetrant , wipe down , might even , luck out with a paint break thru grunge state , at that point , like a 6" electric palm buffer , cleaner wax , usually breaks thru , not a show queen , but definitely better than it was . my 3 horses have all been buffed out with lubrication base . never expect to go from neglect to show queen , very happy to have lubrication based paint recovery , always looks period correct ,another thing about lubrication recovery , is a quick touch up , very easy , always looks good , dust / dirt free , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
