Allis Update...This kinda sucks

We had her running as you know, but only on full choke. DickL told me there could be some dirt of something behind this screw, so i took it out and blew it out. I tried to put the plug back in instead of the screw thinking that could help and it diddnt. I diddnt screw it in too far so i guess the threads werent clean or something. Atleast it was running. Oh well.

Im carb shopping now. I have the bottom half of a similar carb that i think should work and i guess i'll have to try my hand at rebuilding it again. Im not very good with carbs and really dont know what im doing. If anyones got any advice or a cheap botom half of a zenith carb or a rebuilt zenith or similar model please let me know.

Carb numbers 212045 (may be 212845, cant really tell) and the next set is 9705

In other news, the sanding goes well. Today was the fourth day ive spent on it. An allis B has NEVER looked so big, atleast not to me.

Id like to have her going in a week or so to disk with her

Lance, sorry about your misfortune with the carb. Those threads do look like they might be different, and if you have a thread pitch ga around you might want to check and see if they are.

Lanse,
Might be time to find out what this hobby is really about, YOU broke it, now go to the left under tractor parts/Allis Chalmers/ fuel,air intake. There you will find carbs (new and rebuilt) FOR SALE. When you actually have to start paying for things you mess up you might start being careful about what you force/jam/twist off.

go get a one gallon can of carb. cleaner and leave the disassembled carb in it over night maybe all the next day too. It should be clean by then. I like to see small parts like the breather cap painted black as well as the carb and radiator. The broken color seems to set a tractor off.

Kinda cool you posting a video like that.Hide that 30 round clip for the M16 laying out next time.I was trying to clean my bench yesterday.

It broke going in though.....

where exactially is the part of this post looking for a handout?? All i seen was the part looking for a carb

Lance,
You are learning from the HARDEST teacher there is. It is called EXPERIANCE. If you never want to break anything again then you need to go dig a hole crawl in it and pull the hole down around you. If you work on equipment you WILL break things. This is your first time! It WILL not be the last.

Lance:
There are so many things I find refreshing about your interests and mechanical persuits at quite a young age. As others have advised in the past, make every effort to "rub shoulders" with experienced farmers, mechanics and machine operators in your community. They have a wealth of knowledge/wisdom gained in the school of hard knocks.

I'm sure you're already coming to this conclusion, but just take your time with mechanical procedures. I do a lot of damage quickly when I violate this principle.

That said, I think if we were to be honest, all of us would admit to making mistakes similar to those you have made.

I am encouraged by your open-ness. We seasoned adults seem to like wearing masks.

Hang in there!

Now is a good time to learn how to braze.

Lanse, depending on the application of that carb, some of them used the plug, and some of them used the adjustable needle. The threads on the plug, and the threads on the adjustable needle are exactly the same.

If your carb has the adjustable needle, there is a reason. The main fuel metering jet down inside that hole is larger than required, but by using the adjustment, you can fine tune the fuel flow to the exact needs of the engine, which will result in optimum efficiency.

I have a spare Zenith carb that I could rebuild, but I'm not sure if mine is compatible with your application. Does your carb have any numbers on it? What are those numbers?

It's already broke, you've got nothing to loose and a possible repair to gain. I wouldn't count out JB Weld either.

Have fun.
