CA Fuel Problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a CA that the choke must be closed about one third for it to run smoothly.  The engine had some major problems and I have fixed all that.  The timing is right by a timing light.  I have not torn into the carb.  The disk that identifies the carb is missing.  It has a dist. and a Zenith carb.I believe the problem is in the carb.  There is a good flow of fuel to the carb when I take the line loose from the carb.  Can I rebuild this carb without the identify disk?  Could there be something else I am missing?  Thanks

	You might want to check for vacuum leaks before you tear into the carb. Might save you from going through it and still have a problem. Could very well be a clogged carb though.

	Actually the carburetor is kinda simple. A tip to help you on your first time is to remove the top and the float. Take an old two quart pan, put in about 1/2 of a washing machine liquid detergent in and then fill with water. Place the pan with the carburetor parts on a hot plate or stove and boil for a half hour or so. That will make the removal of the plugs and jets so much easier. It also removes the oil from the dirt and crud and dirt will crumb off easy. After the plugs and jets are removed then soak it in real carburetor cleaner like NAPA'a or Berrymans. They sell it in a gallon can with a basket. The cleaner you buy in a spray can works well to blast the dust off the outside. After it has soaked I rinse it out with water and blow it dry with compressed air thru all openings. After that it is ready to reassemble with a new kit. This shouldn't be the exact carburetor but should act as a good guide.
