Thanks Jon for you input . My question when you say sealed top and bottom to casting . Top I understand , bottom not . Does it mean where tube goes thought casting to well or tube's seat/ plug sealing very bottom by threads ?

Good to hear . Did you ever test for leak at top of tube , where it contacts casting ? i pulled mine yesterday and it has proper 43-61s jet and no leak at top . All passages are clean . Iam lost for now , also .

Chris , do not forget to check that seal on top of tube also . while off a little squirt of carb cleaner down will tell you . The extra air in the circuit can not help .

Yes , No luck it did pop once when pumping throttle . No gas smell . I do not believe you have to worry about your choke going all the way down . but would be more important to go nearer top to choke out and assist idle circuit . Mine does not touch either top or bottom , but is close to top . Keep us posted .

Can you get pic of face of correct well jet ? Remember . my carb trouble is same as yours now ,no idle circuit .

Did you find the one on carb is wrong size for the number on it ? And the old carb one correct .

Where you able to change well jet ? I thought number was correct , by pic . I guess if it is wrong you can make it right with your new bits.

And The Old Man says! I damn well know I can mount that-there cold-ass bed pan right under here . And stop hav'in to get up in middle of night , neighbor . But you keap read'in about that buck yo'll never shoot .Ha Ha Ha !

Congrats , nice find . Looks lot like Henry Boler's ,except his is RHD '31 . Can be seen resorting on You-tube . Find some thread on prelubing engine and check list along with proper fluids . And keep us posted .

O' Boy , Now you found sum'in . There is you -tube on repairing them I think .

The ball check is part of accell circuit keeping fuel in pump to force out jet and extra back to carb . I believe in is all inclusive ball , spring and holder . That screwed in to core . See on pic I send you , the main needle and jet , gets fuel from very bottom of core and up through along needle . Thats what Iam seeing anyway .

Just found this info on flow of these carbs . Wish had better copy ! Anyone ! Did you have this Brooklyn Beer ?

The number size 56 converts to .0465 . The one leaner is list as .0485 between 56 and 55 wire number size . 0 to 60 wire gauge bites usually in index then 61 to 80 in jeweler sets .

I take it to be drill bite rod size , from the index's like letter and fractional . Conversion you can look up but all sizes on measuring these carbs list number size . The .0485 is listed as standard size so 56 must be little smaller (leaner ) .

Did you seal something with PC7 or similar ?

Looks more like 43- 43s well jet which is listed as one leaner then standard . Measure orifice , make sure it was not drilled out . Should be number drill 56 according to parts list .

How about that Flex-Seal spray or brush on . . You know the guy on the commercial paints a boat/ screen , with it . Available in black and white I think .

The bowl vent hole is on motor side and near inlet . make sure it is not pushing out there . Time to someone help hit starter so you can watch for leak . Also use proper PPE and extinguisher .

Yes, Gunsmoke he had a 1930 DC8 model here is pic . It was built for export so rhd . He was also a avid reader and collector or auto books . Many books on crossover and parts is owned or would access through his club to help answer anyone question . That's how you get over six thousand post here and I am sure many on other forums he belonged . I know also he enjoyed the fine arts with his wife . Talked of many of classical concerts and plays they attended .He him self played instruments as a younger , I know violin and some wind instrument . A very diverse fellow for sure .

That's a good pic kieser31 , yes on upside down , gasket OFF .

Did you get the orange paper gauge he sends from rebuid gasket kit . Should be 11/16" from casting lip to float in inverted position . Can send pic if you do not have .

After yesterday's thread asking where he was . Decided to check and his wife sadly told me he pasted peacefully in hospice on the 16th . A young man at only 64 . He was happy ,he said to have lived most of ten year since his liver transplant . He was still quite active until about six month ago . Even taking class with his wife to learn the New Zealand native language of Maori . When we talked in November he knew what was imminent . He had started palliative care and was getting his house in order . I know it was hard selling off his car and tools . He was fortunate to have his brother and car club friends step up to help finish putting his 1930 Dodge V8 back together and clean up his Studebaker and sell off some thing , all while helping take care of there orchard and homestead . I'll post more later . Tom

Do you have some pics ??? Shoes maybe of interest .

It is good to see the out pouring of love for Graham and his wife . We became regular email/ penpals over last three years . I always enjoy are exchanges on and off the forums . We regularly exchange pic of projects and homestead . Nothing was more fun for both when both speaking English ,would have to explain what in world where talking about . He,s endured many years as a transplant patient and remains optimistic . We Skyped during holidays and was fighting some infection . But enjoyed seeing each other . He is a young man, yet and pray he will recover again , GO Graham !!!!

Is that the car ? Iam looking for some old raty windlass from hood . And some running board pieces of trim .
