Sizing a sediment bowl

Postby Bob McCarty » Fri Feb 08, 2013 8:34 pm

I need to find a sediment bowl for a Silver King tractor I have. It's rated at 20 HP so quite a bit more powerful than a Cub, although about the same size. Does a larger engine dictate a larger bowl? It seems like the bowls for the bigger IH's have a longer glass bowl, but it doesn't seem like that would make any difference unless the fittings and line allow greater flow to the carb. The carb is a Zenith with a 1" throat. Any thoughts on what I should get?

Thanks, Bob

Bob, My 404 has about the same size bowl as a Cub and runs with no problems.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

The threading is right on a Cub sediment bowl, so I'll probably start with that to get things running. Thanks Bill.

Raymond, I need to get a carb kit first. The gasket was only a little better than the corrugated carboard one we found under the tranny cover. :D I also think I need to get the groove in the shifter ball filled in so I don't accidentally start out in 4th gear at 25 mph. :shock: Don't eat all the peanuts.

Bob, if you have a good spare Cub sediment bowl, it will work just fine on the Silver King. The bowl & 5/16 fuel line are considerably larger than a Cub requires and will be quite adequate for your 20 HP.

I'll eat a few of those boiled nuts! I love peanuts but can't chew the real thing anymore, boiled I can handle!

The only reason for the shorter smaller ones is that some units do not have room to install a longer one!---nothing to do with performance as far as I can tell! thanks; sonny
