Sediment bowl problems on 77 Row Crop

rbuckel · Dec 21, 2008

Planning to fire up a 77 RC that's been sitting for about 20 years. Went to NAPA and purchased a replacement sediment bowl. What a mistake! I placed about 1 quart of gas in the tank and guess what----it leaked everywhere! the shut-off would not "seat" and the metal screen filter was too large and prevented the gasket from seating against the glass bulb. I had to hurridly rig up a funnel and empty coffee can to catch the drips. Very dissappointed in NAPA quality on this one. Can anyone give me replacement part numbers for screen and gasket of the original sediment bowl or tell me where to find a good replacement?
Thanks.

I personally would take that one back to NAPA and have them replace it. Make sure everything works before you leave as I usually have real good luck with their products. Maybe it was just a bad one out of the lot.
If you have a Rural King around there they have them too and are usually good as well. They are all made in China now anyways sooo...

I replaced one on my 88 with one from TxC and it leaked like a seive. My friend changed the one on his M with a new one from Farm King and it leaked badly. If you look closely the casting is not "level" where the bowl fits, there is more lip on one side than the other. CHINA JUNK!
Korves Oliver has them and I got one of theirs. Guess what? NO LEAKS. I think you can see where I'll be getting mine from in the future.
Oh, by the way, Korves unit was only about half the price of the LEAKERS.
