lt10 and 3802a

[lt10owner]

i was wondering if there is a rebuild kit for the carb on my lt 10 very hard to start and also some of the head bolts are stripped so i know that could be the problem since its not sealing properly but it is 60 yrs old it doesnt look like a carb though strange looking to say the laest but i love it

If yours is older, try this,

You probably want to get new head gasket too ,
and water pump while you're at it.

Take one of the head bolts and buy the correct size heli-coil repair kits.

I see Vintage Outboard has a carb kit for a Johnson TD/TN motors. The carbs on those are similar to your LT and should help. You may also have to thoroughly clean your float and reseal it with either cyanacrylate (Super Glue) or a fuel proof dope used on model airplanes. Or you can by a Mercury float and retrofit it. Easy fix.

The carbs are kind of weird but not hard to work on. My son rebuilt a Johnson TD carb at the age of 12. The carb actually contains the primer and high speed circuits. Low speed is a rotary valve mixer deal directly behind the gas tank.

You can get more help from the experts here as well:

Leather primer seals are also available from a AOMCI member.

Good luck and have fun!

Re: lt10 and 3802a

the water pump is fine i think it is pumping quite well so i have a 68 3 horse light twin model 3802a how hard is the impeller to replace? i looked at some schematics doesnt look too bad i have worked on many engines from weedeaters to 18 wheelers i think im capable but ya never know

Re: lt10 and 3802a

You may want to change the pump rotor on the light twin. I did a Johnson JW (same motor) and they're easy. Parts available through BRP or Sierra Marine (NAPA). You can borrow a manual from the library to help you out.
