I got through the ton of dried clay stuff in the sediment bowl top! I soaked it in carb cleaner for a day and pulled it out and drilled it out, scrubbed it out, and scraped it out any way I could. I got fluid to flow through it all the way.

So, back in for more soaking just to make sure I get it as cleaned out as possible. Now all I need is a gasket and it's good to go!

I'll eventually replace it with a duel line carb, but at least I don't have to spend money on this one to get it running.
Was there any sort of gasket at the shut-off lever? It seems a bit loose when I open it up to get fluid through it. I'm worried it will leak. Is it supposed to shake when opened up?

I sure am!

I'm getting a new gasket for it as well.

I think you'll want a dual line sediment bowl assembly, not carburetor. The dual sediment bowl has a valve to switch between distillate and gasoline, with one line going to the carburetor.

Mike there's at least 2 types of packing nut types. Do you have the type that packing nut screws directly into bowl housing?

I repaked the valve on my F-12 8 years ago with a neoprene O ring. Hasn"t leaked a drop since and the nut doesn"t have to be tight, just snug. O ring cost about 12 cents or so at a hardware store.

I hear you guys, but I don't understand it. The valve is wobbly inside the casting. If I repack the nut, that will keep it tighter on the valve, but I don't see how it will make a bit of difference on the valve seated in the cast?

The casting is potmetal, the valve stem brass. It's going to be loose, very likely it was loose when new. What matters is that the tip of the screw mate reasonably with the seat in the body of the bowl. The packing will take care of the rest. It's not near so critical or touchy as needles and seats in a carb. Yes, it may have worn some, but repacking is an inexpensive first try at fixing your leak and, if it works, will last until the next guy starts to work on it, and save you the cost of a new sediment bowl.

I bought a new sediment bowl at Case IH about a year ago and I think it was close to $40.

So listen to these guys and try working with the packing if possible.

Mike here should be a nut betweeb the lever and the bowl. Tighten it gently . if it is still loose use a little paking behind it. You can buy that at the hardware in plumbing Henry (thought all sailors knew how to pack a shaft) heh heh

Sounds like the valve is a little wobbly. Not a gasket but what's called packing. Soft, flexible, ropy material, wound around the valve shaft under the packing nut. Were it mine, I'd rip/dig out all the old, rewind generously with new and tighten the nut down to where it turns snugly but manageably. Best part? Not costly.
