| Post subject: | 1bbl Carter Carb problems |
My rebuilt/new and extremely clean single barrel Carter (C-3, 62229 1973) was not excepting fuel. Indeed the fuel is getting to it, but the float bowl is empty and won't fill up. Engine starts w/gas down the throat or starting fluid as well. I have the carburetor off the car now, took it apart and 2 small silver "bearings" fell out of the lower half. Where do these go? Where should I start? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gina

It sounds like a stuck needle valve or a damaged / mis-adjusted float. As for the two balls, they control the fuel flow thru the accelerater pump circuit. One ball goes under the pump plunger and the other goes in a small "well" next to the squirt nozzle. See items # 28 & 29 at this webpage: http://www.carburetorfactory.com/expvw02.html Dd |

Doc- thank you so much for that. My eyes are hurting and I was falling asleep reading forum after forum on the same exact thing. Funny, but if you Google "ball bearings fell out of Carter Carburetor" you get enough to read- like me. Thanks again for the link and information.. I don't know why there are two balls- alot of unknowns w/this car. |
