Hello Massey Folks- My Massey Harris 444 needs a carb rebuild. I bought a kit from a Napa dealer. I have rebuilt one carb in my days. It was on a 283 Chevy pickup. That was 30 years ago. Any hints or advice that would keep me out of trouble would sure come in handy.

If you have any old screwdrivers around you can grind them to fit the brass seats exactly. I've always been able to get them out. Don't try to over tighten them when you put in the new ones.Remember where everything came from. If you dont think you, can write it down or make a sketch. Be sure you soak all the carb parts good. Everyting must be clean. I always lay out the pcs. on a clean white cloth they are easier to see. Remember to set the float height with the gasket in place.

There is a very good article in the "Articles" section in the left margin menu here at the YT site. It is on the rebuilding of a MS carburetor but would probably apply to any type. One thing though, make sure you don't try to remove any of the brass without heating the casting (if the carb is cast iron, not pot metal) first in a hot oven, a barbeque, or with a propane plumbers torch. If you don't then the jets or needle seat or main fuel nozzle will twist off and you'll have a useless carb casting on your hands. The article suggests that the brass stuff comes out pretty easily but it doesn't. Also, making a special screwdrive to fit each application of different screw heads, etc. is necessary so you don't strip the screw head slots, etc. Good luck with your project.
