Bit sad paul ,but she was in pain, she let me know yesterday that she had had enough, so ime in the market for a new one if you hear of anything, it’s a sad day
Eventually you will run into them. They should have changed the whole carb design but instead they just kept throwing on band aids like that check valve. The carb is the worst thing on these engines but maybe they were ahead of their time. Make stuff so it fails after a while so you need to get it fixed or buy a new one.
It’s worth a try. I was surprised just how solid that old oil/gas can get. If you remove all the inside parts from the carb, especially gaskets and the little plunger with the rubber tip then you should be able to soak it in carb cleaner. I think I ended up using a needle or small paper clip to get in there and dig out all the gunk.
Hi all here is my Gutbrod 1030 born in 1965 IT is a Mk1 Tractor seen here today having just had the Snowplough fitted to the front what a Quality piece of Engineering theys are I have owned this Tractor since I was 14 years old but it now needs some TLC
Just some final pics before it goes back out to the shed.
This one is pretty much all done too except for the little rubber feet. Just need to pick up the hardware and attach them.
Got it all together with Terry's mount, which will get painted silver hammer tone once it warms up a bit.
The belt on there fits but a shorter wider belt will look better.
