Carburetor

We rebuilt our original Tillotson carburetor using Service Motors’ rebuild kit. Hopefully it will work!

Our carburetor appeared to be in very good condition, apart from some minor surface rust on the smaller parts.

We used carburetor cleaner to clean everything (large parts not shown here) and the minor rust was gone!

We unfortunately had to replace the bowl of our carburetor with that of another one we had lying around - there was a void in the casting, which resulted in stripped threads. Of course we discovered this after we were almost done!

All done! The other bowl cleaned up nice with some carburetor cleaner, polishing, and steel wool. Our original carb was marked a DY9C, while the replacement was marked a DY9B. There appeared to be no functional differences in the casting itself, so we decided there would be no harm in swapping just the bowl.
