I like to let an engine that has 'rested' a long spell sit with Marvel Mystery Oil in its cylinders a week or so (helps free piston rings). I also doubt P.O.s work, so I'm not above making a reference mark between distributor & block. & then moving the distributor a mite while a helper cranks. Is th...

Cleaning the passages with anything metallic used to be majorly frowned upon, but with the advent of ethanol 'enhanced' fuel that caveat is pretty much out the window. As a case in point, Honda now has metal ended tools in their inventory to clean their off-road power equipment's carbs. I'm fortunat...

No sense getting too bent before draining the oil a bit to check for coolant being present, or the milkshake look of mixed oil & coolant. A failed/failing water pump seal could cause your diminished coolant/overheating condition. Blown head gaskets often leave a milky 'clouding' on the sparkplugs th...

I found this site listed on MyTractorForum (www.carbrescue.com/intro.html). The poster claimed the individual to be able to resurrect most older carburetors, including the Marvel-Schleber. I figure the flat bar on your coupler was probably intended to be a lube slinger, but then I'm not an engineer....

Thanks Stan, for pointing out the obvious truth that resistances in series add up & drop current! I was just making a WAG as to the nature of the glow-plug section of the master switch. In one of my MANY mis-adventures, I had the functioning of the bi-metallic circuit breaker made known to me! It ma...

If it's backfiring (out the carb), then I'm with you, it's lean (or the intake valves are too tight & 125 psi compression puts the lie to that). The mixing chamber/emulsion tube lower holes being restricted (among other things) CAN cause such as this. There used to be glaring warnings against cleani...
