Sediment Bowl Cub 149
 

What is the purpose of the sediment bowl and how does it work. Getting ready to clean mine and install it on my 149 that I am giving a face lift. The wire screen looked clean, but the bowl had a lot of crud in it. My fuel tank looked clean and no rust inside. Thanks and have a great day.

Sediment bowl is early filter. Junk in fuel collects in the bottom of see through bowl and fuel then filters out through a screen to carb.

^^^Yep!

Plus, it lets water settle out. Filters don't.

A 149 did not come with that type of setup.But is is a good idea like Big Johnathan mentioned,not sure if there is room for one on a 149....

I was thinking that too LP. Should have a straight t valve shut off on the bottom of the tank with a screen up inside of the tank right?

right ,ten characters

Thanks for the info. The sediment bowl was on it when I bought the tractor. It seemed like the bowl was never full of fuel, and I can't vision how it gets back to the fuel line to the carb. Maybe it was full and I am remembering incorrectly. Thanks again and have a great day.

I started my O a couple weeks ago, and went back later that day and it wouldn't start? After checking that I had fire at the plug, I knew it was a fuel issue. Ordered a new sediment bowl, and she started right up. The old one was trashed. The screen was completely clogged with 50 years of gunk.

I just ordered an original with a valve shut off, the previous owner had removed it and put in an inline filter with rubber fuel lines,

I plan to hard pipe it back to the Carb. I like the bowl types because they will trap water along with crude.
