My son has just bought a 66 modle SA200 with the 4 cyl continental engine. It has carb problems and doesen't want to rev up when he strikes an arc and the govenor kicks in. Just kinda sputters and tries and sometimes the rpm's will come up but still not right. Here's my question, in the bottom of the carb there's what looks like a grease cert instead of a regular plug. There's no ball in this cert and gas pours out when the engine is cut off till the carb bowl is empty.An older fellow,who I respect,and has worked on these engines,says this carb needs it for a vent of some kind. Could some of you who still remember this machine tell me what this is for?

I have a welder just like yours an it is has to have a solid plug in the bowl,All that the plug is for is to drain the bowl.

I hahe the same model welder and it has a pipe plug in that hole. Someone probably lost the plug and all they had that would fit was the greese zerk. Over time the ball vibrated out.

I have a SA200, but mine is early 50"s. I have had good luck with speaking to our local Lincoln distributor. They gave me copies of parts sheets, etc.

I would simply replace the zerk with a 1/8 NPT plug. Warm it up, then adjust the idle speed and mix. Then adjust the hi-speed mix screw. I wish you well.

Never seen a carburater yet that wasn't supposed to hold gas in the float bowl up to the level set by the float. Seen a lot of drain holes over in the air intake (choke) section

Yep I say it looked like a grease Zert no little BB in the rnd of it to keep gas from flowing out on the ground I"ve seen a few Scribner carburators but all had solid plugs in thr metal bowl. I just thought someone had placed this thing there cause the threads matched. Can you think of a reaason for an apparatis such as this?

Rick, it seems a common problem that the engine doesn't rev up on these machines when you try to strike an arc. Mine was doing it when I first got it. One thing you can try is this. On the linkage there is usually a way to throw the engine into high without striking the arc. On mine it's a rectangular piece of metal that you flip one way or the other. One way is automatic an one way is high idle. Then once in high if it still doesn't run right you have a problem with the carb or ignition probably. Clean out that carb, they always get plugged up sitting around for too long.
