[AJD] JD 40 Carb

[Dee Schuyler]

Hose barb is a very simple fitting with 1/8 - 1/4 and on up with pipe 
threads that will thread into the bottom of the bowl when you take out the 
drain cock. The clear hose you slip over the end of the fitting that is 
sticking out , a simple hose clamp will stop any leaks? Now if you hold this 
clear tube up along side the carb you can see exactly where the gas level is 
in the carb bowl.
