    Posted: Yesterday at 11:06am
I bought a carburetor kit with a new needle and seat for a Marvel-Schebler TSX-470. The seat would only thread on about a half a turn and then tighten up so much to where it was becoming destroyed, the old one threaded on easily. The thread dimensions were correct but the thread length was .008" too long. If you run into this take a fine file and gently file down the length of the threads. It threaded on easily after that. Don't force it or you'll run into big trouble. The Quality of these kit's are getting worse and worse.

A brand name of this kit, or where/who you bought it from would be helpful. It may have been one and only one seat that was bad. But, there may be dozens of them out there bad.....

That's what we get with so many things that are made in countries that use metric measuring, something always gets messed up in the conversion to inches. Thanks to overpriced union labor most everything is made in some third-world country now where quality control isn't important
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
