What a great article on this month's home page relating to the rebuild of the Ford M-S tsx carb. All the steps are there, great photos, and obviously this guy knows how to write and describe what to do. What did surprise me however is how he made almost casual mention of how difficult it is to get the brass stuff out of the iron castings safely. He does mention the correct size screwdriver, socket, etc. but just to say that it will come out with even pressure is a slight exaggeration. A carb rebuilder told me that you cannot get them out safely without heating the entire casting in an oven to an extremely high temperature (he had built his own since a regular home oven wasn't hot enough). I don't know what temperature he recommended but maybe someone else will know and advise us. Then, when the casting was cool enough to handle with gloves (still hot), they will come out, however you still have to be careful. Mark my words, if you follow the directions as printed, there are going to be more than a few guys cursing the day they read the article because once that stuff is twisted off or the top parts destroyed, then you'ved got a job on your hands. I've done it a few times and my preference is to leave the brass intact unless you know for sure you've got a definite problem in that particular circuit of the carb.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
