So I've been playing around with my H a bit lately. I rebuit this tractor when i was 12 years old, bought it off my grandfather and that was 18 years ago. I don't give it a whole lot of work, and lately I have been having more leak issues etc so I decided to start doing some re-renovation stuff on it.
Anyways, my tractor has always had a little sputter which always bothered me. I know an old tractor like this with a old carb will never run like a swiss clock, but I do think I could get rid of the sputter. I cleaned the whole carb numerous times, put it back together with no luck. Still had the sputter. Now it is possible my plugs, or wires or timing or something is a hair off, but I would like to rebuild this carb totally or buy a rebuilt one.
I noticed that my idle metering jet is a little broke, what does that actually do? I think it would be a pain to get it out, since I'd probably have to snap it off and then drill it and tap it back out. Im just curious how much of a difference an idle metering jet makes and what it actually does.
The second question I have is what is that what looks to be a sheared off screw that pretty much goes in perpendicular to the air bleed valve? I did something stupid and thought it was a broken screw, so i tapped it out so that i could get in there to clean it and i ended up breaking the tap in there, and i made a mess getting it out. What is that there? You can see it on the side of your carb, its like a little brass piece thats flush with the lower carb wall. I cant find any information about it or any part numbers for it. I probably shouldn't have drilled it out, but its too late for that. Does anyone know what this is? Any recommendation on rebuilding your own or buying a rebuild? Ill try to find a picture of the thing I'm talking about. Thanks guys
