Carter model N # 26 carb

[CADplans]

Hey 1972cubcadet108 ,,,

I do have one thing for you to try,, it drove me nuts TWICE,, because I forgot it had happened a decade earlier on a different tractor,,

Remove the air filter, remove the air filter bracket (the round thing that screws to the inlet of the carb)

Now, look at the air inlet of the carb,, at the 6 o'clock position of the air inlet is a hole.
That hole is in a hump that sticks up into the air inlet,,

Well,, it turns out, that the hole must be clear, there is a passage from that hole into the carb bowl/float area of the carb.

With the bowl removed, shoot some carb cleaner into that hole, the carb cleaner MUST shoot out through a hole into the bowl area.

If the hole is clogged, it is a TOUGH passage to clean.

I have only successfully cleaned it one way.
I put a 3 to 1 solution of Pine Sol bathroom cleaner and water in an old crock pot, and submerged the carb,, an plugged in the crock pot.

If I remember correctly, it took about 12 hours of "cooking" to clear that passage,,
I am sure the time will vary, with each carb situation. Check it every hour or so, I checked it by blowing in the hole with an air compressor and blow nozzle.

Once that passage is clear,, the carb will again idle as it should.
If it does not correct the carb, at least you will have a GREAT smelling shop!!

Actually, I set the crock pot outside, I do not know if Pine Sol fumes are bad for you,,,

Good luck

it now runs and idles but it has quite the miss after you drive it awhile i did absolutely nothing to it. I'm guessing that theres piece of dirt laying in the bowl and its getting sucked up after shaking around

A "miss" needs can mean a lot of things to different people.
loose wires, mal functioning components, and the list goes on and on.
A better description would be helpful.
Doctor, I don't feel well is a pretty big target.

Is the throttle shaft super loose in the housing?
A bushing install will help if that is the case.

Nope it isnt i did put a china carb on it it ran the same i found out that the coil was overheated and the bottom of it was blown up up like a balloon. I have the engine out right now to replace the flywheel screen and im thinking about repainting the entire tractor.
