GRRR carb/fuel filter problem
ok not really a carb problem, but its on the carb.. i installed an inline fuel filter, no problem.. took old one out.. was replacing the piece that holds the old fuel finlter in... well it started fine, but cross threaded.. S.O.B.... all cock-eyed.. took it out.. threats are all torn up.. i kept trying to get it straight it wouldnt go.. i tried to seal it but it leaks.. am i just screwed and have to buy a new carb? everything else went good today... inline filter, chrome water neck, finished up vacc lines... something...always something..

No new carb needed. If you can't get it to work, they sell a fuel inlet repair kit. All it is, is a new one that has thread cutting, well, threads. It will cut news threads as it goes in. Will work as good as new. Be sure to remove it after you get it in and clean all the shaving out real good.
Remember two things when it comes to carbs. Be gentle and clean. You can't man handle these things. They will bite you everytime. Don't feel bad, I've crossthreaded a few in my day too. Keep your head up man. It will get better.

I've also done that. I fixed mine with some JB weld on the threads. Let it dry completely then run gas though the carb inlet to get any loose particles out and not in engine. Worked great.

Jon,
they are usually in the self help section. You know where they keep all the plastic vacuum line, oil pan plugs, etc. I just called Advance to see if they still sold them. He said they did. I guess Pepboys, Autozone or any of them will have them. Good luck. |

Be sure to take your old one with you. There are a few different ones, depending on year. Best I can remember anyway. It's been a long time since I used one.

ok its a mod 17084500 hot air choke but you could probly put your elect choke on it. I bought it on Ebay and it got kinda bunged up in shipping. Kinda bent vacume ports. Was replaced n/c by seller. For all I know you might be able to bolt it on and go. Worth a try. Just pay shipping fair enough ? Email me
pkbinplano@msn.com with your address , I'll mail asap for you soon as your address is recieved.

You can do that or try it like it is before you disassemble them both. Don't know if anything is wrong with it, got it off ebay. Just some of the vacume ports dented in shipping. Like I said, may be worth a try. I never tried this carb. Looks ok other than above. Should be able to swap bodies but I'd try it complete first. JMO
