I offered this entire book for sale some time ago, but there was no interest.

As there seems to be more and more interest in the YF, I am posting this chapter from the book. I have written authority to do this, this is not a "bootleg" post.

This is only one of 11 chapters in the book. The book is the textbook from the Carter Carburetor School.

It's 17 pages. It came up in my phone. Does your download have a time out? Maybe try at a different time if day. That has worked for me in the past.

You folks that use a cell phone for internet purposes amaze me! salute2

I am an old geezer, telephones are for talking wink

I use a 17 inch laptop (sitting on a table) for the internet, so I can read it.

I just edited the first post to reflect that the file is 7.2 MB

I need to be in touch - will need a rebuld kit for my 3211S and info on the heat tube.

Thanks Jon Years ago you recommended a YF for my rebuilt 261....... been in love with it ever since.

The information you share with us during regular postings and by extending the life of that "old printed information" by sharing a download is priceless........ thanks again.

You are what makes a Forum worthwhile.
