Welcome to the Forestry Forum moose62.  I wish I could be of more help, I have the same ford engine in my Garrett, except it is a diesel.  If the info doesn't come along timely, I will refer to my Ford service manual and dig up the info.  The manual has the info for the gas and diesel versions.  Nice skidders!  Got any pics of it?

thank u for the reply i can get it to run by pinching off the gas supply so it does'nt flood . it has been converted from the orignal mechanical fuel pump to electric and i think the pump puts out way more p.s.i. than needed as it makes the the gas line stand at attention and is rock hard going to try a 3lb to 5lb pump and see if that elimnates flooding

You have a TSX580 or 593 or 707
Carburetor Kit, Basic - Basic carburetor repair kit. For models from 1955 to 1957, with 172 CID gas engine. Carburetor part #: Marvel-Schebler TSX580 (supersedes TSX593), Ford 312954.

this is from www.yesterdaystractors.com they have the best price, SteinerTractor.comhas kits also 61.95, the last one I got from NAPA was over 50 dollarls. Be sure to measure the span across the mt. studs and tell them just to verify the right kit, these are for Ford tractor but uses the same carb.

In your overhaul make sure the venturie fits tight and is not distorted.

I run a electric pump on my 10 with a pressure regulator set to 3pds.

I recently after I can't count the number of rebuilds replaced the Marvel with a new Zenith from Yesterdays and I can't believe the diffrence, I have a brush rake on it and just pushing off idle is about the same as 1/3 or better with the Marvel.
