I searched and found the hot start flood article. good info. Should I try to fix this one or get something different for my 235? carb pic here | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Yup, that's a Rochester B alright.

I have a "B" on my '52 216 and have had good success after a rebuild. Lots of info on these carbs out there. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/booklets/5020mts00.htm

I called and asked the guy at the Carburetor Shop about a Carter W1, and he said that was for the 216, and I will need a Carter YF, althought he is sold out presently.
He said there were different models of the YF, and there might be a link here on the forum that would help me match one up for my 235.
I looked on the for sale forum, but did not see any for sale.
He said my two months of tinkering and not much progress is typical with the B. | | |
