Hi all,
I am hoping some parts guru can help me get a positive ID on this carb off my recently-acquired JD 401 tractor. I think the inlet valve was sticking, occasionally it would send so much fuel through that the engine would stall. Rapping on the carb with the proverbial screwdriver handle fixed it last time....so I figured it was time to pull it and give it a clean.
My. Quite a museum collection in the inlet filter sock. Bits of beetles and flakes of paint and rust, hair and who knows what. Rust in the bowl. The jets look undamaged. I would like to get a rebuild kit anyway. The ID tag is missing. On the underside of the upper half, the roof of the bowl, the numbers 227 458 are visible. On the mating surface of the bottom half : A320.
I am attaching pics of the parts and a closer view of the jets. I have searched the net for MS rebuild kits, some of them have some of the parts in mine but
I can't find one that has both small jets (idle and economiser). Any suggestions appreciated....thanks.
Rob
