I knew I shouldn't of , I knew I should've

Hi y'all from Tennessee. I'm new here to posting. Recently I took a notion to get my super c out of the fence row. 10 yrs ago my father had it restored and used it for 2hrs and parked it where I cut it out of a few days ago. Actually it had minimal problems to get running. I did however start with the carb. and had it cleaned and rebuilt instead of doing it myself. I should've done it myself,since I am a mechanic by trade. Well I couldn't get it to run at first unless it was full choked so I took the carb apart. Man was I mad. First sight was a missing jet,second sight was how filthy it still was.After a thorough cleaning I found another jet completely stopped up! It still won't rev right. Can I buy just the jet or have to buy the whole kit? At this point I'm really let down. But hey, it did start after the 3rd crank after 9-10 yrs sitting in a fence row.

Check your local Case-IH dealer.
Also can find parts manuals on line.

I heartily endorse a place called Marks Carburators on Flea Bay. He will sell any part you need and will help you if needed.

I doubt I will ever consider myself a mechanic but one job I tackle without reservation is rebuilding these old Farmall tractor carbs. Incredibly easy, once the soaking is done I can do the entire thing in less than 30 minutes without instructions anymore. But you already learned that lesson...

Use the ckeaning tips for your torch they will be able to clean the jet. Or get the # on the jet and then use a numbered drill bit to clean it cant be too hard to do. Mite want to use drill bits i have the numbered set i do use them in the passages and do find rusty stuff at the bottom sometimes just because you can blow air it doesent mean the passage is entirely clean and see junk on the end of the bit sometimes i have the holder that you use when cleaning torch tips or just use my fingers. Lots say they cleaned the carb and blew air but that doesent man the area is completely clean.

I guess I need a manual to get the part # but I've rebuilt several over the years. The guy charged me $60 to rebuild it and I thought that was fair. I 're cleaned it and it's very clean but I'm still missing the one jet. The tractor starts and idles fine but when you apply throttle it spit and sputters for a sec and dies. If you rev it really slow it will rev up. Idling 1st gear it pulled up a hill and the governor seems to work properly. It is new as well. Could the missing jet be causing my problem?

Here is the online listing I like to use:

You will need to search for Farmall C and then scroll down to find Super C Farmall tractor. If you search for Super C it won't find it.
