tillotson help

[sayre315]

i have recently baught a tillotson HL282 B carb and was wondering how to hook it up
do i need to drill and tap a hole in my crank case?

 

[Russ2251]

Depends on design. There are 2 possible types.
Is there 1 nipple or 2?

 

[sayre315]

1
oh and btw
does anybody know how to hook this up and how much it would cost to get a lead?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ame=STRK:MEWAX:IT&viewitem=&item=250305158323

Having only one nipple indicates that this carb requires an existing internal pulse line. There should be a small hole on carb mounting flange. This has to line up with hole on your engines intake manifold. If incorrect gasket is used, hole will be blocked.

 

[sayre315]

well theres no hole on my adaptor
could i just get like a mikuni pulsa pump?

 

[Russ2251]

Could'nt tell ya'.
I don't use pumps.
This carb would have been a far better choice:
Tillotson

Hey Sayre, The digatron leads arent too much. I would say about $15-20 at the most for both leads. But if your buying them brand new, Be in for a nice surprise.

 

[sayre315]

do you know how to hook it up?

 

[sayre315]

but russ you see
i got my tilly and the adapter for $10 + shipping

 

[Russ2251]

Problem is, yours is not fully adjustable.
No high speed adjust. Probably specific to a particular engine.
Lack of external pulse line can also be a problem as it may not work with current manifold. However, I have successfully converted similar carbs over from internal to external pulse.
The hl239b is NOS (New Old Stock) and can be used on almost any engine from 8hp on down (out of the box) provided engine is setup for external pulse line.
What engine are you planning to use this on?

 

[sayre315]

briggs performance 5hp

 

[Russ2251]

Does intake manifold have a nipple on it?

 

[Russ2251]

I see someone else took my advice.

 

[kibble]

LOL, trying to keep it on the DL, Oscar, I see.

 

[Russ2251]

BUSTED!!!

 

[sayre315]

HAHA OSCAR!!! it has the pulse fitting on it
but i was hoping to put one of those boost NOS kits

 

[Jerryburger]

Hey Russ, Kibble, Oscar, and Sayre! Would a small groove, ground with a dremel from the pulse hole on the mounting flange to the carb throat work?

 

[Russ2251]

I can't see any reason why it would not work.
Would have to be deep/wide enough to be effective and cautions taken to ensure that gasket does not end up re-sealing hole.
Gasket goop would have to be avoided. I rarely use the stuff anyway.
Worth a stab. I have seen slotted carb flange gaskets. This may be why.
Good work Jerry!!!

Darnit, I was caught eBay handed

It was too good of a deal Obtw, thanks Russ, that was a helluva deal ya found. I'll go take a picture of my manifold + the pulse adapter. And a $3 problems solver for the external pulse.
