(quoted from post at 15:38:08 05/05/19) is there any other carburetors that will work on this tractor ? ....I'm looking at $60 for a rebuild kit, OR, a new TSX 813 carburetor for $350.00 +..............I just put a rebuild kit in the one I have but looking at the $60 kit, it has a lot more parts to it than the one I used, it was $20,..............
he M/S carbs are so simple that 95+% of the time they need very few if any parts other than gaskets (gaskets because the are old/brittle & torn at disassembly). The problems are almost always related to dirt/foreign matter in the tiny passages. Kits contain no passages. Very careful cleaning & assembly ARE required. Sometimes shafts & bushings will make one run smoother at idle & low speeds (air leaks), but won't keep one from running. Did you run a small wire thru each and every connecting passage? Did you check the floats for binding as I suggested in your other posts? Did you remove the carb bowl (not sediment bowl) drain plug and measure flow to see that it flows enough to fill a pint jar in two minutes or less?
No passages, other than the main nozzle, in most cases for Fords.
My take is, if you've already spent $20 on the "basic" kit, and are
considering spending $60 on the full kit, or $350 + for a new,
aftermarket carb, why not ask for help rebuilding it or have it
rebuilt for you? A new one doesn't come tested and adjusted.
Simply slapped together at the factory. The rest is on you.
