Decided to get my tractor out and was hoping to actually use it this spring. The previous season it was suffering from what seemed like lack of fuel. After checking all the fuel filters, and lines I decided to rebuild the holly (last season) after putting it back on it still had the same problem always had to pull the choke out and would die going up a hill... After taking the carb off and on several times I finally got so enraged I decided to sell one of my kidneys for a zenith Carb. My ford is a 1965 and is incredibly difficult to find the correct zenith Carb and is more expensive then the later model 3000"s which makes it even worse. Many sites will provide the wrong part number and there is a lot of misinformation as to if one of the zeniths for the 68 and above would work on it.
Anyway my question is the Zenith I bought (which is the correct part number for my tractor) came with a larger brass fitting screwed into the Carb with the mini fuel screen then what the holly had. However the fitting that was smaller that was on the holly screwed into the carb without issue (the inlet size on both of the carbs was the same) and connected to the fuel line. It almost seemed like the connector was wanting a larger fuel line connection then what is already on the tractor? Will this cause an issue? Do I need to get a bigger fuel line for it then the one that is already on it? Or will the existing fuel line be ok?
Thanks,
