Last week I'm up late on Jim Carters site and out of the blue I buy a rebuilt carb..upgraded to automatic choke. Hook the carb up, turn the key on...step on the starter...instant nice idle first try, even with no gas in the carb..just a prime.Seems to happen to me all the time. I'm thinkin it must be better deep cleaning of the passages where they rebuid them.
Thanks..I feel better now..Got a good running engine even though I don't know why I can't do it with one of my rebuilt carbs.

I've worked a on alot of them only about 3 out of ten are rebuildable. I've been useing tilotson and carter yf carbs for the last few year with great success. The last yf I rebuilt worked right on the first start with only idle adjustment needed. What kind of carb did you buy? | | |
