This is 100% the clearest video I have ever watched. Rebuilt a whole carb for the first time in about 2 hours with your videos. 10/10 execution in how you explain everything. Thank you for such a high quality video!

@davidturk6301 3 года назад

A suggestion. Instead of holding the top of the carb with your hand when measuring the float drop, get a couple of brinks (stacked) and set the carb top on the bricks (fuel bowls hanging down). Now you have both hands free to measure, and not shaking (particularly for us older types).

Thanks for posting I feel a little bit more confident now rebuilding mine

@davidgoodwin658 4 года назад

The new accelerator pump spring is smaller on one end. It goes into the bottom of the well. The bigger end attaches to the pump. You can use a credit card for electric choke adjustment. Place credit card against choke horn and adjust electric choke so choke butter fly just touches credit card and then tighten down 3 phillip screws hold downs.

Soooo....I am DIY'er with a 1964 Corvette that has a Carter 3460S carb. I have been plagued with rough idle issues and can't find anyone in my community that will work on carburetors. I have wrestled with rebuilding the carb (it is original to the matching numbers car) but until I saw the videos have been reluctant to try rebuilding. Part one and two are so well done that I am going to order a rebuild kit! Thanks Kyle!

@jabracer024 4 года назад

Dude! Your video series was absolutely perfect! Thank you soooooo much man! I was pretty intimidated being this was my first carb I've ever rebuilt. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but, I've never tackled a full size carb before. But this video was super helpful man! You gave my the confidence to just go for it and I'm glad I did cause looking back, it wasn't even that hard. Anyway, top notch video! Thanks again bud!!👍👍🍻

oh that's genius to do the plunger in the top portion first. I set it down in the bottom portion then fed it through carefully. duh! I rebuilt an AFB from a 58 DeSoto with a 350 mopar motor. Very easy carbs to rebuild. Thing fired right up afterward. Will need minimal tuning. Great vid series!

@erichouse6988 3 года назад

Thanks for the walk through! I hope this does the trick for my 4.3l merc cruiser. It was bogging down under load. Seemed like the floats were way off from where they should have been when putting it all back together, so hopefully that was the problem (everything else seemed to be in good shape).

Great video series. I would just add to remove the air cleaner stud before removing or replacing the top because it can tear your air horn gasket and the carb will not run right :-)

@top111quebec9 5 лет назад

I reman a lot of caburators over 42 years, to do a good cleaning you must use carburator cleaner as Gunk an let's soak all metal parts for about 30 minutes , rince with hot water and blow all parts with compressed air. In the kit you must find instructions about ajusting many important system of the carb , choke pull off, unloader , fast idle cam , fast idle rpm, accelerator pump rod, meetering rod plunger, float level , secondary trottle opening , ect reman a carburator is not only a cleaning job , the most important is all those ajustements, Please ! NEVER use a rag that lint can obstruc tiny passage in the carb use compress air

@jeffgabrisl7016 4 года назад

I wanted to say the same thing. The rag he used to clean the carb would have left an unacceptable amount of lint. Also, there is something to be said for putting all parts on the side of the carb you remove it from. This guy likes to put his same parts together, and that makes it too easy to mix them up.

@mystery4004 Год назад

Hmmm. Most informative.

@nateballo7823 3 года назад

Great videos! Getting ready to do mine. Just one thing, is there a reason you didn't install that last choke linkage? I ask because mine is missing.

@leosbasebybase7557 Год назад

Hello, thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Your instructions were step-by-step great, on my side I ran into a problem where I bought my carburetor in pieces and the guy must’ve forgot to throw in the secondary Venturi so now I’m stuck. I’m not sure if other victories from a different model size of another Edelbrock carburetor will fit. If you see this message can you let me know? If not no worries I’ll figure it out.

@HootOwl513 6 лет назад

What sizes were the jets and metering rods? The Edelbrock Carb Owner's Manual will tell you what the carb came with stock. Also how to read the codes engraved in them.

@stevefish6269 4 года назад

Hi, i am having problems with the primary jets dripping constantly on AB Carter 9700 and flooding the carb, i have replaced the needle and seats, the original needles had a clip to help the needle open when the float falls but it seems to be causing the float to stick. Would you recommend the use of the clip? as i noticed you dont have them on the floats in your video. Any advice or help would be much appreciated. Regards Steve Fish

@davidturk6301 3 года назад

He didn’t set the secondary butterfly opening with respect to the primary butterflies (bend the linkage to get the correct spacing measurement). Not a critique of the great tutorial, just a note that there is another potential setting to check.

@Billccm 27 дней назад

Recalling from memory the Accelerator Pump shot was the top hole?

@Billccm 27 дней назад

Perhaps it is just the camera, but the primary venturi old gaskets don't look fully cleaned out?

@Jack-hx2dx 3 года назад

I rebuilt the same carb today and when I went to start my truck it would not hold idle? Any suggestions?

@Wikkus 2 года назад

When you put the accelerator pump linkage back on, it was reversed from how it came off; was it wrong way round when it came off, or did it go back on wrong?

@RyRy_12121 3 года назад

We where looking in the old parts of the carburetor and we noticed baffle plates, and we didn't see the part where you put them in is that bad?

@12Bravojeepstuff 11 дней назад

My old weight had a point and there was no ball bearing present. Is that another option that was available?

@moeshouse575 4 года назад

i have found out that if you dont have to take the jets out DONT. it just isnt needed. also the float drop is not needed to set, as the float hits the bottom of the float floor first. also try 7/32 float level and see if that works for you

@andrewhudson3723 5 лет назад

For the idle mixture screws, it looks like you only adjusted them out half as far as they need to go. That was two half turns and an 1/8th turn if I am not mistaken.

@halvarandersen8279 5 лет назад

He backed them out where they should have been. He didn't use full turns in the first video he used half turns.

@turboomni848 5 лет назад

1 and 1/2 is the starting point and you adjust from there.

How will the carb act if the check ball is stuck. Will it cause flooding?

@garyroberts8428 6 лет назад

Great pair of videos. Did the choke linkage not belong in the top hole where it was originally found? Or do I remember incorrectly?

@bulletgt3 5 лет назад

I thought about that too

@mancelprince7426 5 лет назад

It came out of the top hole.

@Rickkari7 4 года назад

The accelerator pump linkage was installed in the wrong hole. Originally in top hole per part one.

I guess they don't make the blue (relatively) reusable gaskets for the Edelbrocks/Carters?

@marcryvon 6 лет назад

Dirty work table : possible dirt back in the carb. C'mon ! And no compressed air to clear any passages ?

@britneywright9744 6 лет назад

That's the same thought I had, glad to see you did too.

@borreolsen 3 года назад

Me to, why not have a clean workplace before assembling. He didnt even let the parts soak for a minute, and all parts should be blown clean with air. I bet all the passages are still full of debries.

@Chippy5544 6 лет назад

I just wanted to add that the word "carburetor" is from the French and it means "don't eff with it".

@cblanton42 3 года назад

You forgot to install the gasket and star washer in the top housing for the accelerator pump. At 1:10 of the video you left them in the box as spare parts... Nope! Your rebuild will be squirting fuel out of the top the accelerator pump housing. BIG mistake for a Hagerty video!

@joshrodgers9366 9 месяцев назад

at 10:45 that is completely unnecessary. your adjustments might not be the same as before after cleaning and rebuilding the carburetor. you could have just ran them both down backed them off about a turn and a half or two turns and then just re tuned it once the carb is on the engine running so you know its right for its current internal flow state.

Edelbrock Performer series carbs are junk! New, rebuilt, still junk. They are so proud of their carb that they offer a 90 day warranty. Needless to say, mine is holding up the corner of my workbench.

@jeffgabrisl7016 4 года назад

My Edelbrock carb has been the perfect street carb for my car. I have a 1979 Camaro with a SBC 400 and a 2.41 posi rear end. At 600cfm I have all the torque I need, instant throttle response, and enough cfm to hit 120mph. I also didn't have to rebuild the carb for 15 years. My carb only had problems right before, and after I rebuilt it, I need to rebuild it again. Otherwise, I would be happy to trade you a wood block for your Eddy carb, because I would hate to see a great carb being used as a prop just because someone doesn't understand how to tune it.
