Well,I fired it up today for the first time and got to drive it around. Didn't sound to bad at all and everything seems to be working good. I did have a little bit of a flutter when I would give it gas so I tryed adjusting the carb some. Thats when I realized that the shaft holding the flap has alot of play in it. So much that you can here it sucking in air. I figure there is no way i can get it adjusted right if it is leaking that much. So my question is how can I fix this? The shaft its self is not worn. Its worn in the hole where it rides in. It appears to have a bushing in there(whats left of it) Could I find a new one?(bushing) Does anyone know where I could find a old carb or a brand new one? Thanks for any help.

You could drill out the casting and put in a slightly larger bushing, you might have to get someone with a hobby lathe to turn one out for you. A lot of carb kits have a thin brass collar with a felt liner which jams into the opening there and forms sort of a seal between the outer end of the bushing (or casting) and the throttle shaft. I have also made my own seals by taking out the throttle shaft and inserting a plain steel rod of the same size in it's place, and then jamming in graphite impregnated string strands from a crankshaft seal that uses those types of fibres in the larger seal. You can jam in the threads with a small, blunt-ended pin or bobby pin, etc. Once the regular shaft is reassembled, it usually holds the graphite strings in place with the shaft lever assembly or perhaps you might have to slide a small washer on the shaft between the lever assembly and the carb body. Even regular string that is impregnated with grease will work if you can't find any of the graphite strands.

Jason,
My Silver King has a Marvel Schebler TSX-361 carb, while the silver king manual I have states it should be a TSX-112. If you search yahoo for the TSX-112 you come up with some hits, one of which is Link Now, there is no listing for the 112 but this page has a 361 on it. I am not positive that my carb is original but the tractor ran fine with it on. The TSX series were also used on the Ford N series and there are several TSX carbs and parts for sale on ebay. Anyway, good luck!
