Mine is puking gas between the airhorn and body, I guess a stuck float. What about the Carter W-1. I see American Classics has them for $185. I need a reliable non-leaking carburetor for a year or two. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 | I'm a big fan of the W-1.
Piece of cake to clean and rebuild, too.
And interestingly enough, they made one in '49 that chevy used.
I say go for it. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 96 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 96 | I just ordered a Carter Weber from Langdon's. Got their linkage, filter, and adapter too. Cheaper than the W-1 and brand new too. | | |
