I never saw a restored tractor without a painted carburetor. If you want color, have it powder coated. Paint and gasoline do not work well with each other. Mike

Wow! Those look like "seconds" that were headed to melt down. Mike

If it really bothers you, the center could be repaired with JB Weld but as the others have stated, function will not be impaired. Mike

You may want a base gasket in there. Mike

I have been using electric fuel pumps since the early 80s on most of my engines. The one on my 78 Chevy P/U came in extra handy when I got a load of watered gas at a local gas station. I was able in a couple of minutes to empty the tank of fowl crap and get reimbursed from the station for more...

Gasoline does expand quite a bit when heated. It is coming out of a underground, cool tank into ambient temperatures so maybe fill less? Mike

I had a 650 spread bore Holley on my 78 Chevy P/U spraying gas directly on the distributor probably 30 years ago. It scared the crap out of me, but I was 60 miles from home. I called around and found a used bowl at a speed shop. I drove to the shop, thinking "what could go wrong". Changed it out...

I stand corrected! I was only thinking about the heat required to melt 50/50. Mike

That fuel bowl looks like cast zinc and cannot be soldered. Mike

Bob, the other end of the yellow arrow wire connects to the wire at the green arrow. It is merely a jumper connection. Mike

Arrows. Mike

I believe the green or yellow locations would be fine. Just confirm they are "key on" 12 volt sources. Mike

Lokar cable with Jegs bracket and a angle cable mount I fabbed. Mike

Yes. I would recommend you reinstall the auto choke setup if the exhaust cross over is flowing properly (gets hot quickly-they can plug up with carbon if engine is burning oil). Mike

Bob, Everything you always wanted to know about your Carter BBD: Carb #=BBD-3240S Float level=9/32" from top of float to top of bowl casting Acc. pump=5/64" between vent washer and top of casting Mixture screws=one full turn out from bottom, plus or minus 1/2 turn Idle speed=500 rpm Fast idle...

If you have too thin a supplied gasket a poster board (or other thickness of cardboard) could supply a shim between the lock ring and outer surface of the gasket. Mike

Spectre makes some nice fresh air systems. Cold Air Intake Systems | Spectre Mike

I have used the same system on my 493 street car, for 41 years now. Works fine. Mike

I have a FAST test unit I would like to sell. I used it one time. PM me if you are interested. Mike

I had issues with my 65 Coronet 318, alcohol gas evaporated from the float bowl after 2 days so I used a Carter electric pump. Depending on days sitting I hold the momentary switch to a 6-8 count, pump throttle twice-slowly, and she starts right up. Mike
