If you discover you have warped castings, you can look up at the top of this section and see the instructions I wrote years ago about straightening them using your gas grill as a heat source.

I see some parts still assembled in that cleaning vat- - - -specifically, an accelerator pump. Not a good idea! Regardless of the cleaning method used, the final procedure is AIR- - - - -lots of it! Every passageway in all the castings needs to be purged with a needle-point blow gun, and massive quantities of compressed air. The cleaning solvent just softens deposits- - - - -air gets the castings clean. A carburetion instructor I had at the General Motors training center in Memphis put it this way- - - -"Put 55 gallons of air through every hole!"

Jerry,
The accelerator pump you see is my old carb. Even after ultrasonic I can't get it out. I have tried almost everything to get the old one out but I rebuilt yours after cleaning it with all new small bits

OK- - - -get it nice and clean so it won't stink, and use it as a paperweight!
LOL!

Well after continuing to fight with carb issues I have broke down and ordered a used Carter 964 off of ebay along with a rebuild kit. Issue after issue including bowl flooding, warped casting, blocked ports, difficulty adjustments along with hot start problems $150 for a Carter and a $25 rebuild kit I will hopefully put those issues in the past and be able to drive it further than 2 miles without issues.

Before installing the $25. repair kit, measure the orifice of the fuel valve seat. If it is greater than 0.081 inch, be prepared for carburetor flooding.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify If you truly believe "one size fits all" try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes! [image] http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Avatar.jpg[/image]

A twenty five dollar rebuild kit sounds generic and low quality. That should set alarms off.
I think my rebuild kit was about $100 for a YF966.
Not sure I would even roll the dice on that kit.
Do what Carbking says checking it first. Then get a "Quality " kit. Rebuild it Once.

Well after threatening my rochester carbs about their soon to be replacement coming in, it is now operating pretty good. No leaking around the bowl and it has not been hiccupping at all. So at least now I have a little bit of time to get the rebuild kit situation figured out.
