Try a sprayer calibration method I have used before. Measure your nozzle spacing, mark out a course to run the sprayer over according to nozzle spacing for 1/128th of an acre (20 inch spacing = 204 feet, 22 inch = 186 feet), fill sprayer about half full with clean water, have sprayer running at the pressure and speed you want when entering your course and exiting the course, record the time it takes to go through the course, do it a couple or three times (go both ways if you can), average the time, park sprayer and run at your rpm,pressure just like in the course and catch the flow from a nozzle in an oz graduated container for the average time it took in the course, read the oz, that's how many gallons/acre you will use. I did this once for our sprayer and recorded everything in the spray log so anytime I change nozzles all I have to do is the last step and catch the nozzle output for the time so I know how much I'm using an acre. I have a little card from the extension service with the distances needed for nozzle/row/band widths from 6 inches to 48 inches in 2 inch increments. Paul

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
