Re: 1956 Oliver 5.5 hp won’t start

Frank, I replaced that O-ring from my O-ring kit, but
it seemed thick enough, but it could be suspect.
There was a tiny red gasket of sorts down in the low speed
dip tube bore. It came out with the tube this morning,
and it looked in sad shape, so I made a new one.
That was a chore itself, 3/16 OD and 1/16" ID.
Used a tiny piece of some old thick diaphragm material.
After the JB weld dries, I can put the Welch plug back
in the carb and try again. JB Weld to fill the hole I drilled
in the plug to pry it out of the carb!
Must look someday to see if one can buy a kit with tiny
Welch plugs.

Prepare to be boarded!
