Stromberg carb problem


sexton

Recommended Posts

Hi, I disassembling a Stromberg NA9RD carb from a Continental R975-C1 radial in a Sexton. Or trying to - it's been a battle. And I lost it with the idle tube. It sheared as shown in the photos. I made a sketch of it and I think I can get one made, but does anyone know if any spares are available? I can't find anything searching.

 

I plan on drilling it out to the point where I can pry the external threads out of the carb body. Does that sound reasonable?

 

The discharge nozzle shown in one of the photos is putting up a good fight too but with alternating applications of a LOT of heat and PB Blaster I may be able to get it out in one piece. If not, I'll need one of those too. I't's a 3/8" nozzle.

Thanks. Malcolm
