Mornin' All.
I know that most of this has been discussed in some way, shape or form, and I did some searching to try and get answers, but I couldnt really find what I needed. I know a bunch of you guys know lots more about this than me, so I hope you can help.
As part of my previously mentioned H saga (I have two), one is out for the count until I can pull a sleeve and piston. The other fired right up, but ran like crap, and just got worse as it sat. So, I pulled the carb off of the stuck H, and put it on the running one, and it runs like a top (sorta, but thats for another post....)
Im in the process of rebuilding the other carb. It had all sorts of crud in it, and I just figure that something is blocked up in there somewhere. I was able to do a full teardown on it last night with the exception of the main jet (didnt even see it in there behind the packing) and the venturi (stuck tight). I know I should be able to heat the casting to get the venturi out, but I may soak it first to see if that helps. But I do have several other questions....
1. Has anyone ordered anything from McDonald Carb & Ignition before? They have a "premium" rebuild kit that comes with a throttle shaft with the brass connector on the end. Its about $40, and Im considering jumping on it. (Also looking at the IH one, and the one that Rusty has, which I am guessing is the TISCO kit?)
2. Everything I have read says to use compressed air on the carb to blow it out. I have compressors, Im just curious, what do you all use for nozzles? I was thinking of using an inflation needed for a basketball.
3. I would like to paint the casting once I have it all cleaned up. What color did these come originally? Just bare metal? And what do you use to plug all the holes if you dont want to paint the adjustment screws?
4. (Last one, honest) Do most of the rebuild kits include the ball and spring that goes behind the lever on the choke shaft? I found the ball when I took the carb apart, but no spring...

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
