Fuel, Carb, Air Cleaner....

Somehow I misplaced the original '62 Linkert M74
carburetor that I pulled off the motor quite a few years ago....

It's around somewhere, just need to find it...
In the meantime, I do have another that was
on my '59 FL, so pulled it off the shelf and will
rebuild it....

This carb was on a running motor when I shut it down...
But I've ordered a rebuild kit and will go through it....

Took the carb apart....

It took some effort, it's been together a long, long time...

Finally got it apart....

Cleaned up all the parts....

Markings on the sides of the carb....
"Made in INDPLS, USA"

"1-1/2 Mod M"
"2 - 418"

Put it back together temporarily,

Now it looks like this.....

And this....

The float was swollen and it busted up pulling it out of the bowl....

So I ordered a "Durable" float from Liberty Cycle,
it's supposed to be immune to fuel ethanol problems....

Cleaned up the original pivot bracket, and used a new
mounting screw provided by Liberty with the float on my request....

The new screw and shank is slightly shorter then the oem one,
but it went together quite nicely....

I need to adjust it a bit, it is set a little high right now,
but I can do that when the rest of the rebuild parts arrive....

Waiting for the rebuild kit to arrive....

More Later....
