I have a 560 gas I built an engine from parts from a salvage yard. The block and innerds are from a 403 combine (263 ci) just like what a 560 is supposed to have but without sleeves.It has funny looking(power crater I think )pistons. It has a 560 intake manifold and timing cover and an 806 exhaust manifold. A diesel flywheel and starter. I bought a carburator out of a pile of cores and rebuilt it myself. I picked one without an electric solenoid in the bottom. It ran great and had tons of power,way more than any other 560 I had run ,It would pull a 15 foot disk in 4th gear set deep,No problem there,but it would burn 4 to 5 gallons per hour doing loader work or raking hay. It would smoke black just a little but not bad,and it would not soot the plugs. Now, I picked up a carb off an "M" and put the venturi in my 560"s carb, the hole in the 560 was close to 1.25 inch and the M was less than an inch,closer to 7/8ths . It still runs wonderful but has alot better throttle response and I don"t have to choke it to re start it when it is warm,with the big bore I always had to give it a choke to go. I havent had a chance to run it to see how much difference it made . I just wondered what other 560"s get for gas mileage,gals per hour that is. Thanks in advance.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
