I have an Oliver 550 Serial 186 213-019. It was sitting for a spell, I took the carb off, soaked it, cleaned it up good, new gaskets, runs now, but very rich and smokes a little more than I would like. Fuel also runs out IMMEDIATELY upon shut down, which to me means the float needle is either not seating or the wrong one. I would love to rebuild the carb, but there is no tag on the carb. It is a Marvel big bowl. There are a couple stamps on the body. 1) 2G cast in under the carb inlet. 2) A31 stamped in on top of the mounting flange, normally covered by the carb to intake gasket. 3) 458/3? cast into the top portion half of the carb where the float would reside.
Soooooo.....any indication on what these numbers mean? Do they signal to a TSX number that can be used to order a kit?
Something els odd.....I have had my hand in dozens of carbs over the years, but I have never seen a plastic venturi inside one. It seems like an unstable medium......

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. 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.
