Re: carb help needed
I'd say you may have to take your losses on that one unless you can find one at a junkyard. Try getting one from one of the locals here on this site.
I bought a rebuilt one from local auto parts several years ago and haven't had any problems. |

Re: carb help needed
You should be able to find one of those...I would def. replace it, rather that try to fix it. THat is just a mono jet right?

Re: carb help needed
All you really need is a good bottom section off a parts carb.

A crab can grow a new claw. A new ear? I don't think crabs have ears, although they can sense vibrations. So, yes you will have to buy a new crab.  If your not in a hurry maybe you can buy an old carb and steal the part you need from it. If finding one locally is a no-go, keep an eye out on ebay. A shout out on our own parts board will probally be the most productive. Last edited by heyjoe; 08-09-2008 at 07:08 AM. |

Re: carb help needed
I tried to find a reman a few months ago.They are listed(or were) on the zone.advance and others but no one could get one.I wound up rebuilding mine,I had a partially stripped inlet and I am still going to snag one at the JY when I go.

Re: carb help needed
I think LMC has them in their catalog, let me check.
Yep they do but they are pretty pricey, $239.95, I think your best bet is another member or a junk yard because I never recommend LMC because we have site vendors that may have the same thing. Danny

Re: carb help needed
I know the desire to help out is there, but there are way too many subscribing members helping out what has become a WTB.....which is against the rules.
A simple suggestion of E-bay, junkyard, etc. is fine but offers to sell turn the post into a WTB...and get it locked. |
