Parts manual does not show the set-up. What is the attachment/plumbing for this system? Are there any diagrams or better pictures to show me how to get sediment bulb on this tractor? Thank You all who help me. I read the forum daily and get a better understanding from your posts. DenisW [Reply]   [No Email]

On downdraft carbs (typical car/truck before FI) the liquid simply ran down into manifold & heat probably vaporized most if not all of it before reaching the cylinder & if not it would run into the cylinder.   [Reply]  [No Email]

My 641 has done this ever since I had it. Rebuilt carb and it still leaks from mesh screen in bottom of bowl. Almost every 600-800 series gasser I see does this. Question: is this coming from bowl overflow? or where?   [Reply]  [No Email]

I bought mine at the local Ford tractor dealer . The hollow bolt was included with the bowl . Or you could check with Dennis Carpenter"s website . HTH ! God bless, Ken   [Reply]  [No Email]

Where do I find the hollow bolt? What happens to the small round screen into the carb from the existing fuel line? DenisW   [Reply]  [No Email]
