Thanks. Useful for future reference.
Seems like every week or so, there is another thread about a stovebolter wanting a different carburetor.
Jon.
It seems that way. I wonder how many carbs are unnecessarily replaced in an effort to cure poor running engines? Carl is fond of saying "it's never the carb". IOW, in many cases, the carb gets blamed for issues when it's likely something else such as ignition problems, exhaust blocked, overheating, internal engine issues, ...
So when should a carb be replaced? I would think in the following cases:
Existing carb is broken or worn beyond repair.
Engine modified in such a way that a different carb is required.
