Carb Question
« on: May 24, 2021, 05:47:53 PM »
This is the carb that was on my 48 simplex. It is a Tillotston MS93E. I had a question about why this particular piece appears to be plugged and crimped? Also, what is the purpose of this piece. I've already ordered a new gasket set for it, but will be calling Wayne if I need replacement parts.

It appears it will not let me post the 3 photos I have, apparently the files are too large.

Resize the pictures smaller, or send them to me and I will do it.

Did you get my PM about the clips?

Maybe an overflow drain ???
The later models had / have a drain built into the case , just inside the carb mount .

Inside that tube is a torsion Spring that returns the throttle the early MS style carb worked differently than the later automatics. If the Spring isn't any good you will need to put a return Spring on it

The spring inside works great! Didn't know if I should attempt to un-crimp it and remove the plug. I just talked to Wayne today and he is sending me a MS rebuild kit. Most all of mine is there, but it's good to have just in case.
