I hadn't run my old '49 B much for about a year, and the last time I had it running I had to choke it good to keep it running smooth. Then we had several hard downpours in late August and early September, my lane washed bad and I couldn't get the B running to grade it. I drained the old gas out and replaced with fresh gas without improvement, so I took the Carb off and soaked it in a bucket of gas for a week. I tried to get numbers off it for a rebuild kit from this site, but could not find the right number on it. Anyhow after a weeks soaking I just tried putting it back on, and the engine started on the third crank. My B has an electric starter, but the Bendix nut is wore on the inside and sticks on the shoulder of the shaft, you know how they are.... so I use the hand crank to start it. As soon as it was warmed up I went to grading the lane. On the second pass up the hill, the B quit and gas just poured out the carb drain hole. As I was going up hill I had to get the blade off the back (my B has a homemade three point hitch setup I made about 20 years back), drag it off to the side, and drift the tractor backwards down the lane where it sat while I went in the house and ordered a new replacement from this site. I got the new Carb in a few days, and Friday I put it on. That took a while, I had to modify the Carb three ways and the intake just one way, but after about 3 hours I was ready to try starting it. I hadn't hardly twitched the crank and it was running. That new Carb runs that old B like anything. I should have gotten one a few years ago. This site turned out to have the best deal, I believe it was $69 less than the other two I checked out. And now the old B is running like it was new again, or at least the best its run since I've had it.
