Need advice on Tillotson XF carburetor rebuild
I recently took my 1930 Model A Tudor for a ride and the carburetor throttle shaft stuck in the wide-open position. Quite a scare!
Snyder's has a Tillotson XF rebuild kit, along with new throttle shaft, plate, and shaft bushings. Has anyone rebuit a Tillotson XF and how successful was the rebuild? It seems there are many threads about disappointing carburetor rebuilds and I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble and $$ savings. My back-up plan was to buy a Zenith model #13922. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has done a Tillotson rebuild and how it turned out. Thank you! |

Re: Need advice on Tillotson XF carburetor rebuild
I just rebuilt a Tillotson X today and put it on my truck, it runs much better than the Zenith I had on it - but I'm having issues with hi speed adjustment.
If I close it too far I have no power, but if I open it too far, it starts to 'buck' or stumble. I'll have to recheck timing next week - I have the points set at .020 per Les Andrew's book, but I noticed the instructions that came with the carb kit says .018, but then it could be a condenser acting up, it seems like every time I get a "bug" worked out of something - it turns out to be a "new" (apparent poor quality) replacement part. |
