Been forever since I was here!
Went out today and gas was trick'lin outta my carb!!
I need a re-build kit, and it's my thought there were a couple different carbs on these tractors. without tearin the damn thing off, can someone tell me which (what) carb I'm spose to have??? I'd take a pic of it, but it looks kinda like a ball of grease!!!!
Thanks in advance Copyrite-

Thanks for the reply Doc!
Been pokin' around, found Marvel Schebler rebuild kits, the all refer to a "TSX" #, how do I figure out which one I have? Is it stamped on the carb? Dum questions, but need to get up and going, and don't want to waste time with the wrong kit!!!

As Dave said, riveted at the throat of the Carburetor for large bore. On the side of the float bowl on a small bore. About the size of a dime. A TSX 869 is a large bore Marvel that would come on like a D17. I don't think D15's had a large bore Marvel on em'. I think it should be a small bore version. Maybe like a TSX 486, or a 670. Somethin' like that. We have Carb kits in stock if ya need help or if yer' interested... Steve@B&B bb-customcircuits.com

D-15 series 2 carb is essentially the same as a D-17 except for the throttle shaft.
My notes say TSX 869 or TSX 863.

On my series 1 D 15 the carb tag is on the back of the carb right above the breather hose facing the seat . Mine's TSX-815 by the way , which Steve rebuilt for me . HTH

I’ve had pretty good luck with just getting the gaskets and giving it a thorough cleaning

So I set about to rebuild my carb, cleaned it up, tore it down, put it back together with a kit from Steve (great kit, good price, got here quick, Thanks a bunch!) I'm havin trouble with the power valve. I'm missing the packing, or don't know what it is/looks like (NOT STEVE'S FAULT!!!!). Any help would be apreciated!

Could be the float is not floating so well, that could be due to a hole in the float or the float has been crushed, and has lost displacement. Usually crush is caused by using high pressure air into the fuel inlet in attempt to blow through a suspected piece of dirt.
On a historical note, the needle valve,seat and float was actually the unwritten 11th plague in the bible.

So, got the carb put back together, and she ran great! YAY ME!
Shut'r down, and gas started pouring out of the choke rod hole...... Ok,
float is bad/needs adjusted. Turned the gas off, problem solved for
now. Ran her 3 more times, gas on, runs great, shut gas off. Tried
running her a forth time, gas on, she won't start unless the choke is
all the way on. Runs GREAT, throttle up, throttle down, just the choke
HAS to be on........
Help?

Re running with the choke on, either lean adjusted main screw, or air leaking bast bad felt packing(s) on choke shaft...
