Reply To: 1960 Scott 7.5 hp fuel purge?

I really can’t help too much here. My McCullough 9 has a float type carb. (I doubt mine will run either, because the float has an assist spring holding the float up, which would shut the fuel off.) What I would like to say, though, is on mine, there are two holes in the lower cowl/midsection, that are directly over the two, hard-to-get, intake manifold screws. If I remove the flywheel, I can take my whole carb and manifold assembly off without removing the power head. I’m not saying it’s easy, but at least it can be done. The two holes have paint in them and appear to be OEM. If you don’t have these holes, you might consider drilling them.

Long live American manufacturing!
