After some searching I have located a Carter YF 2100s carb for my '53 235 Poweglide Engine. I have not worked on one of these before.
I would like to get some advice as to rebuild procedures, source of repair parts and answers to a few questions. Thanks in advance.
1. It seems that the carb spent some time in a shed, and the cast iron base and other lower parts are a bit rusty. The idle screw is stuck, and I would like to know how I might get it unstuck. Can I apply heat? I would take the base off first.
