I am very surprised there are no markings on the edge of the crown wheels as even the spares have them. They should look like this but if you still have a problem please email me njarrett@btinternet.com

I have new old stock 398/5 carburettors but no spares. Chances of getting a 356/1 is slim.

I think you will find the carburettor may be a 398/5 which has an oblong fuel bowl rather than round. This was a very late fit part and mainly by water boards etc. I do not know much about these but have never seen an issue with one.

Bruce,
Is this the 356/1 carburettor? It may be that the internal cross drillings are becoming blocked and may need an ultrasonic clean to clear them.

I will message the owner and see if I can find out some more info.

I only have these extra photos. The engine is fitted to a Ransomes MG5 tractor in the Netherlands but is not original.
I am interested as it appears a good fit.

If you do not get any recommendations you could email me to discuss njarrett@btinternet.com
