H carb removal?

Hey guys,

Well, apparently my float is stuck on my new H. This is a 1951. I started it up and ran if for a while today, then after I shut it off I had fuel running out of the air inlet (my air tube is currently off being painted). I assume this means a stuck float.

I tried to take the carb off, but I must be missing something here. I took the two nuts off the top studs coming off the intake manifold, then removed the two screws from the governor tube, but I still can't get the carb off. I can't lower it due to the coolant drain tube directly underneath the carb, and I can't slide it rearward since it's still on the two top studs on the manifold.

Do I have to unscrew the coolant drain tube from the block? I hope not, since it's going to be a bear to get a pipe wrench on that sucker.

Thanks for your help gang!

Sorry about the 1/2" plug idea, Mine is 600 miles away. There is a good possibility that a person that has soldering experience could make a piece to prevent self disassembly. JB weld is not a good choice in fuel, the ingredients will eventually decompose it. A replacement might be another option, Ask on the Want ads to the left!, or suppliers (this site, Steel wheel ranch, and others. JimN

Ok, well I finally got the carb off. I had to remove the above mentioned pipe out of the block and replace it with a 3/8ths plug, then I was able to remove the carb as one normally would.

I got her opened up and discovered the source of my grief. The little rod that the float pivots on had worked its way out of the two little arms that it slides through. One of the arms is cracked, so the rod slides freely side to side.

I'm not sure how to go about fixing this little beast now, except for maybe a touch of the old JB weld to hold the rod secure. Thoughts?

Thanks again for all your help folks!

I thought about that, but then won't I have to buy a manifold gasket?

Thanks,

Yes, you will have to buy manifold gaskets. In addition, you may well have to have the manifold surfaced at a machine shop to true it up for a good seal. In my limited experience, I have learned to leave a well sealed manifold alone, if possible. mike

Ok, having a pipe plug in there would make much more sense... I have about a six inch pipe nipple threaded into the block, then a female threaded coupler, then a turn-handle valve on it. Something someone added, I suppose, but it makes it impossible to remove the carb!

If I were to run to Lowes to buy a new pipe plug to put back in there, what thread size is it?

Thanks a ton!

You need a 3/8" pipe plug.

Sounds like you have to wrestle the bear. Usually there is just a pipe plug in there and the carb comes by it no problem. What have you got ?
