Tractor is a 69 3400 gasser. PO bypassed the bad fuel pump to gravity feed the carb. Tractor ran rough so I did a full tune up and got a pump. The only bath this poor tractor got appears to be from the rain. Drained the fuel tank to replace the shut off valve and it's filter, put a new sediment bowl on only to find the guy lost the fitting that goes to it on the line from the carb. Pull the carb line off and find its a compression style fitting. Put the line back on, very hard to do with a loader on and ended up cross threading the carb fitting. TAKE the carb off and remove the fitting to find the screen pushed in and gone. Is this fitting still available? I'VE Googled to no end and it seems most places cater to the diesel fuel systems more.
Hoping I don't have to replace the carb to get it. Tractor will see snow clearing on my 1/4 mile driveway and some yard scaping. NO farming or hard construction use. It still has the holley which I know is a love/hate but I need 1st gear and 1/2 throttle most of the time. Also need to check timing but not with this major fuel leak I created.
