Disassembled the A carb. Should the Venturi come right out or is there a secret? Most I have worked on fell out. Thanks P
 
Yes it should come right out but some times the do sort of stick so one has to use the handle of a screw driver etc. to gently tap on them to free them up or soke them in carb cleaner over night

Thank you Old. Carb kit should be here tomorrow. Maybe this thing will run again. I'm hoping it was leaking around the base gasket and bowl gasket. I'm tired of wrestling with it.
 
I buy all my carbs kits local form my O'Reilly's auto parts store. Walker brand for around $20

I think I would get the deer in the headlights look if I asked for anything like that at the Orreilleys around here. I use Mike's in Washington. Are local carquest is good. It is owned by a farmer. He has a complete machine shop and takes care of all the farms and trucking companies around.
 
Ya I guess I am lucky in the fact that I have been shopping at the local O'Reilly's for 35 plus years. Plus Missouri is the home state of O'Reilly's and the home office is only around 75 miles from where I live. Also many of the people at my local O'Reilly's have known me for a decade or more

Orreilleys is pretty new to this area. I use them for some things but doubt they know how to look in a book. Seems most the old parts guys that can rattle numbers off their head are long gone.
 
Well if you ever need parts numbers I can get them. Such as the sediment bowl gasket which is call a fuel strainer gasket is part #398. Don't remember the carb kit off the top of my hard but it would be easy to get
 
I got a sediment bowl from town..leaked like all the other ones I have got. Stainer screen was the same size as the gasket. Couldn't seal up.
That Venturi is stuck. I don't have any good carb cleaner. Probably won't help but I have it soaking in gas now.
 
Gas isn't going to do you any good at all. O'Reilly's has a spray carb cleaner that if you spray it down good with it should free it up. If I remember right the venture on those carbs are aluminum ad sort of square looking and if that is so one can take a pair of pliers and carefully twist and turn it to free it up.

I have sprayed it and twisted it and tapped on it. No luck. Spray cleaner dries out to fast. Will try some heat next.
 
If you can twist it then your pulling it out in a way it gets cocked to the side and binds up. You have to pull it straight out and so much as a little tilt will bind it up big time. So twist and pull straight up
 
Relax and bring it up here. I will help you and it will get you away from home. Guess I could have kept driving Friday as I was in Mac picking up parts.

Thanks. I heated it with propane and was able to twist it out.
Put the economy rebuild on it and got it to start. I will hook the radiator up next and hope it holds water.
 
If it is the aluminum type drop that part in a can of ATF and if you can heat it up but only hot enough to make it thinner not to the point it starts to smoke and let it then cool till you can handle it and try twisting it again
