Thanks, I ordered a rebuilt tsx from Zimmerman, He told me a 403 or 406 would work. I'm not sure which one he sent. I guess I should ask. He did say that the Tillotsons weren't the best. Anyway, thanks for the replies.

HG, OC-3, OC-4 & General / Correct carb for herc IXK3
January 10, 2016, 08:49:53 PM
Hey internet, I just acquired an Oliver crawler and am trying to find the correct type of carburetor to replace the one it came with. Someone had a knockoff Briggs and Stratton 8hp on it that worked but leaked gas all over the mag. I tried buying a Marvel Schebler on ebay but it was the wrong size (for a much larger manifold). Does anyone know what type of MS carb or Tillotson carb will work? I believe it is a late 40's HG42 sn on the engine plate is 1259791. I am trying to avoid buying the 400$ Zenith. Any help with serial numbers etc would be appreciated. I am aware that I am not the best at written communication so feel free to ask me to elaborate but no lectures.
