Re: rebuilt carburetor
Art,
In my humble opinion the Ford/Holley is a good carb and regardless
of the number on the left side of the bowl all are nearly identical.....until
you get into those from the later 50's. As Ken said the diaphragm spring
can mess up the pressure. Additionally a tiny bit of dirt inside one of
these pumps can cause a valve to malfunction and really adversely effect
the output.
I'm no expert but I've found the only safe way as a supplier to
provide reliable rebuilds is to test each component after rebuild/repair
on my shop test motor. Even using this approach the bad apple does
get thru on rare occasions.
Ken and I purchase our critical parts from known reputable sources
and yes some of these are made off shore. Parts store rebuild kits are
OK I guess but....well.....you know!
