Hi CarbKing, Thank you for the reply. Knowing about the lack of historical stock, and no newly made replacements is very good to know. I do see what appears to be a complete carb on E-Bay and it is showing the needle adjustment that inserts into the Main Jet. Hopefully, the main jet is there and in good enough shape to be a replacement. Thank you for the guidance and the suggestion. I will post back how this gets concluded. Respectfully, Norm

Hi CarbKing and everybody else in the community... I am new to the community and cannot yet directly reach CarbKing. If you can pass this along to CarbKing that would be very helpful. I have a Tillotson JR5A carb that needs a new Main Jet and I need a replacement. The carb is off a 1929 Chevrolet International AC 1-1/2 ton truck that uses the JR5A instead of the stock Carter carb. Your assistance to connect with CarbKing, or another source for parts or carbs, would be very helpful. Respectfully, Norm

Hi Kenneth1930 and everybody else in the community... Are either of those JR5 carbs still available to be obtained? I have a 1929 Chevrolet International AC 1-1/2 ton truck that uses the JR5A and it needs a Main Jet replacement or a replacement carb. Your assistance to connect with Kenneth1930, or another source for parts or carbs, would be very helpful, Respectfully, Norm

Hi All, Can anybody point me in the direction of how to obtain a "Main Jet" for a Tillotson JR5A carburetor, or a replacement carb? I am working to get a 1929 Chevrolet International AC 1-1/2 ton truck up and running. It has the Tillotson on it rather than an the original OEM Carter, but the Tillotson carburetor needs to be overhauled as the idle adjustment does not function. The "main jet" is stuck in place and cannot be removed at this time and thus it may have to be destroyed to get it removed, thus a replacement may be required. Your good guidance, suggestions, advice, words of wisdom would be very helpful. Respectfully, Norm
