I went to start it (warm) and smoke came out from under the hood. My carbureter was on fire. It took me a while to get the hood open to extinguish the flames so the carb got pretty hot. I'm sure it destryed any plastic or rubber parts. It is a GMC 305 V-6 with what appears to be the stock one barrell carb.
What are my chances of finding a rebuild kit for this carb and will the fire have damaged it beyond repair? It was probably burning for about a minute, and the air filter was destroyed. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 164 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 164 | I got a kit for my 62 351 v6 at napa but I had to modify it some but you may not have that problem with the 305. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | There a couple of carbs used on that motor. Was it a Zenith or a Stromberg? You could probably find a replacement on eBay for short money. You can probably throw a Rochester on there to get it running again in the short term. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=gmc+strom*&_sacat=&_sop=10&_dmpt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&_dmd=1&_odkw=gmc+zenith&_osacat=0&bkBtn=&_trksid=p4506.m270.l1313 Kits http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carb...arts_Accessories&hash=item209a0c3f79carb-not the best deal
