HELP!! Getting the carrier up and running is requiring some parts. FP looses prime, no adjustment on the idle circuit on the carb and the filter is full of.....stuff.
Got the fuel pump part handled, Then and Now put together a nice kit, Got a carb kit on the way from The Carburetor Shop.
One tank had ugly gas in it and the other wasn't too bad. The switching valve was galled up from what looks like debris passing through it. The tanks have been coated sometime in the past. I pulled the pick ups from the tanks and found the issue, the right side tank strainer is in bad shape, covered in the same stuff I found in the filter at the carb and the screen is coming apart, this is most likely the issue that caused the galling in the switching valve and carb issue.
I have searched and come up with nothing on the screens and the valve. I have tried Midwest Military, he sold his stuff. Brian Asbury from Ont Canada, he sold his stuff to a man named Colin Alford also in Ont, Ca. but the e-mail address he provided is invalid.
I THINK the screens are a Ford part, the bottom of the screens have FMCo 41, which I think is Ford Mo. Co, 1941 and a p/n TL2834 stamped on the brass end. I am sure that I can repair the valve, but the screens are a must.
Any one have a lead on where the screens might be found? I have not tried over seas yet. I do not know if they are the same as an Aussie carrier or the T16.
