I am still having trouble with the 37 A carb. I have cleaned all the passages with the drill bits, checked for leaks with the lp bottle, replaced spark plugs, replaced the plug wires with the correct type, and I have a good spark form the mag. I have to run it with the choke about 1/4 to 1/3 closed. The idle needle is 3/4 turn out and the load needle has to be almost all the way closed. If I open the load needle it will start to exhaust black smoke and die. If I open the choke all the way it dies. I have plenty of gas going to the carb also and it is new gas. The needle and seat close off when the float is raised, and the float is not hitting the side anywhere. In your last reply to me you said something about a vent on the carb. Where is that located? The only other thing I can think of checking is the float level. This is a #18 carb and the book doesn't say where to set the float level at. I hope that I am not being a pain but this has really got me stumped. Thank you for all your past help and I check the discussion form daily and run copies of some of the answers of interesting topics that you two reply to for further referance. My Grandpa could answer these questions and now that he is gone the information went to the grave with him. You two should write a book. I enjoy reading your comments and absorbing your knowledge. Keep up the good work!! Thanks, JIm

My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
