Gas line differences: IH vs. Zenith carb

Postby Super A » Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:45 am

My cub's gas line is all cobbled up, cut in two with rubber hose and a gravity-feed filter in between. It has had the Zenith carb added at some point. So, being that it just crossed my mind and I haven't taken time to check the online resources: Is there a difference between the gas line for the IH carb vs. the Zenith one?

Al, not 100% sure, I don't have a Zenith carb, but I've seen some on other tractors. Most of them look like what I've seem on TM's site.

The Zeniths' I've seen had the inlet facing the direction as that picture, and from what I can recall, I've seen rubber fuel lines on them, so I'd guess an all metal fuel line would require some different bends?

It will indeed need some different bends.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

OK, Mine has the carb fuel inlet turned "up" like that too. I assumed it was someone being "sloppy." Can't you turn it another 90* like the regular Cub (and for that matter, the Zeniths on my other tractors)?

I don't have any operating Zeniths (on purpose) but I don't think it will work unless you drill a hole through the dip stick tube. :(

TC 37F shows only one fuel line and on the Zenith they show an elbow and fuel strainer assembly. That elbow must be the female compression fitting seat. Someone with a late model may be able to take a photo. I hope I can next week. BD you must have a Zenith on your 76?

Bob - you are correct. I have some pics of it somewhere. Haven't found them yet.
