I was assuming 90 ft lbs according to the chart. And that's what I was doing. Then when I was doing one of the 7" bolts I heard a loud POP inside, and the bolt got loose. I pulled the bolt out and it was still all intact, nothing missing. I need to pull the housing out to see what's going on.
I added a copper washer next to the lock washer at the top to prevent oil sippage that was occurring. That left me with a little over a 1/4" take up on the bolt. Something that I had overlooked. So I'm thinking maybe the female treads stripped out at the bottom. I'll know for sure when I pull the housing out. I'll probably go get some 7 1/2" long bolts even though the parts book calls for 1/2" x 7".
My question is about the foot poundage. Is 90 ft lbs overdoing it on such a non critical item?

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
