Continuing the work.. Carburetor rebuild

As mentioned in my previous post this was a safety issue that had to be addressed right away.  The vehicle was not driveable with a leaky carburetor.  I purchased the rebuild kit and took the whole thing apart.  I read the instructions this time.  I did a lot of cleaning using carburetor cleaner and sea foam.  The carburetor cleaner does a better job.

Here is a picture of all the parts:

Rebuild work completed

Taking a carburetor apart and putting it back together is a tricky business.  You have to do things slowly.  Study all the screws and where they go.  Clean the jets very well.  Remove all the debrie from inside.  It took me a total of three evenings to complete the job.  Cleaning everything very carefully pays back.  I put the carburetor back and started the Truck.  I only had to adjust the idle mix.  The engine sounded much more smooth after this was done.

I will take a video of the engine running tomorrow.

Till later...
