Im getting fuel to the carb and can fill the bowl but its not getting to the top end of the carb. Theres no fuel being delivered to the intake. Ive rebuilt it, and cleaned it really good. Everything was blown out, is there something I missed? Where would the fuel clog in the carb.

The Monojet didn't come out till 68, but a PO could have put one on at one time. There is a filter behind the inlet nut. You say the fuel bowl is filling up. How about the float level. If the accel. pump is not pumping gas the check valve could be stuck or the piston is defective. Make sure the links to the accel. pump & metering rod are hooked to the bracket on the throttle shaft.

The filter is now an external inline filter. Ill get another kit and replace the piston.

One has the idle vent adjust on top and one doesnt. The only difference seems to be the top bowl half and up, but the bottoms look the same. Would these carbs mate up and work? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 | anybody know about model b parts? can they be swapped? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,226 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,226 | They can be, but it might not run right! There were a lot of different changes made over the years, some work together, some don't.
With the engine cranking, hold your hand over the top and choke it real good, it might pull fuel that way. I would say clean it again using wires and pipe cleaners down every hole. You might take it to shop with a bigger air compressor then yours and have them blow it out.
