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......
