Hi all,
I got my carb kit from Rice yesterday. I cleaned up the carburetor and put in the kit. The tractor runs a little better than it did, but its still not right. The Zenith K5 carburetor has 3 adjustment screws, one is for the low idle speed, and the other two I believe are air/fuel screws. The problem is, I can't get it tuned right, its either getting too much gas or too little, it runs down the road in road gear perfectly fine, but it does not idle well when I can't adjust it right, the air/or fuel screw that is on the top half of the carb does not hardly change the way the tractor runs, even if it is turned all the way in, I can even take that screw out while its running with no change. I cleaned a lot of passages with brake cleaner, compressed air and a torch tip cleaning kit. The only passages I did not clean are the ones near that adjustment screw, thaey are capped off with small brass plugs. My carb kit from Rice Equipment came with 2 of those plugs. MY QUESTION: How do you get them plugs out? I want to clean those passages as I bet thats the problem. The plugs are threaded in , but that are flat on top, no place the put a screwdriver on them, :? :? How do you get these out??? I'll probably use my F-20 in the tractor pull if I can get this carb figured out.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
