Hi, I'm investigating getting a chipper running for a friend (Then, of course borrowing it), and it has a Continental Motors straight 6 in it with an updraft carb. As soon as the battery is charged, I'll have more info. I believe that I'll be looking for a carburetor or a carb rebuild kit for this engine, and am wondering if anyone out there might be able to point me in the right direction to source one out. The owner of the machine tells me that gas pours out of the carb area when it is running, so I'm assuming a stuck/flooded float, bad gasket, or something similar.

The Numbers from the engine are as follows: Model F227 Spec 4210 Engine # 1845 There is a brass knob (maybe a jet?) on the carb with the numbers F226F 383 on it if this helps at all. I am told that the year of production was 1968.

I've found a carb for sale from Wisconsin Motors Canada, for $285. It's a lot to sink into this old chipper, and I'd like to investigate other options if they're out there.

Thanks to all,

Kevin
