Linkert M741-1 rebuild

[T. Cotten]

You have little to lose, Harry!...

But your patience;

Lest then you forfeit.

We all need more of that right now.

PS: My primary 'chem-dip' is dime-store white vinegar.
The HS needle angles and seats were quite similar, but somebody would rather have your needle knob more than a Linkert, as you, yourself might someday; What model is your 101?

Remembler "dime stores"?

I got all the little galley plugs out except for one, not the ugly looking one in the picture above that sits in the bowl, but the one accessed through the flange on the throttle side...it was really buggered up and sits way down in there. But it looks like a dead end to the chamber where the little idle slot lives and another larger plug, so I left it in (drilling it out would probably be my only remedy).

So it’s now soaking in Chem-Dip overnight!

I’m also curious about that Schebler HS needle, if I go back to a Linkert needle will the seats be different?

Your first big problem, Harry,...

Is that is a pre-'29 Schebler bowl assembly, bowlnut included.

It could be 'convinced' to work, but you are better off trading it to somebody who needs it more (unless you want to go early 101 "correct" some day), and putting together a "common" Linkert sidebowl assembly.

The HS needle is also Schebler, but probably would "run". (You are going to want to put the LS spring collar beneath a good spring, not above it... Note that it seems to be the proper "fat" one,.. what's left of it.)
The frozen and boogered gallery plugs, and all the other fasteners as well, come out easier with focused heat upon the fastener only.

Welcome to my Hell, Harry!

Figured I go with a new thread on this carburetor that came with my 101 Scout. I was going to send it away (and I may still !) but after asking Cotten who he might suggest, he suggested I go for it myself, so here we go. (full disclosure.... I may have failed as many times on carburetor rebuilds as I have been sucessful, but live and learn I say.)

Here's what I am starting with, a dirty old 741 with a cork float that was mostly dust:


First thing I discovered is that the bowl appears to be Schebler, it's brass and doesn't seem to have a replaceable needle seat?


The float needle is still there, but without being able to replace the seat I'm wondering how to get a good seal?:


Then the low speed needle isn't connected to the adjuster knob, broken?


The throttle disc with a little light showing, and the shaft is actually not wobbly at all:


And finally, not sure if this is a plug or is it a jet? Either way, going to take some finagling to get it out of there:


As I said, it's really, really dirty and I can't get the discs out so I'm still working on disassembly/cleaning.
