The original subject was "3414 backhoe".

Here's some info for the carb. I bought a 3414 this summer and after refurbishing the gas tank, fuel pump and now at the carb, a British built Zenith VN. The loader runs fine on the flat, but rough on hills. Through the internet I found a fellow in Ohio, Randy Farmer, Farmers Service Inc, (330) 482-4180. He builds a carb from the casting on up, $420.00. He described my problem exactly, saying the carb float is a loose bulb riding in its housing. Works fine on the flat, but on a hill, not level, the bulb drags/rubs against the side of the housing, causing a rich mixture and rough running. Also, the plunger in my carb is seized, which is not good either.
I ordered a carb, but won't have it installed until I see the tractor again next summer. Give him a call.
 

I bought a new zenith from the forum site here.
407 dollars works just fine. My power valve in the old zenith was stuck also...That was the reason for a new one.
 
Those British Zenith carbs (VN and VNN 30 mm) are available new-old-stock from several places in England. Cost around $150 US dollars. They were used on several small cars besides the IH tractors.
 

I purchased a carb for my 3414,,, brand new and modified with a fuel pressure regulator mounted on it from Randy,even went to his shop ,He is Excellent in his carburator knowlege and modifications
