Reply To: 1958 10 hp Low speed carb bushing

This was Frank’s post.  I would definitely remove the parts from the carb, oil up the threads and work the needle in and out of the darn bushing many times until it spins freely.   Adding the extra packing washer, or perhaps one of the clear plastic ones from a newer carb kit will help.

I just wish I knew why these darn carbs are designed this way.  Some sort of cost savings?  Horrible design indeed.  Send us a sign Frank!
