Another question about a carb for a 261. I just aquired a YF 3211 and have a YF 4370 core on the way, but the 4370 is still a few weeks out and since it is a core I will likely have to do some extensive work on it after it arrives. Will the YF 3211 at least get me running and on the road temporarily until I can get the YF 4370 rebuilt and installed?
Thanks for all your help!
David

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |

(In addition to soaking my manifolds with gas....) Anyhow, for a while at least, I plan on limiting my use of the truck for running down to the lumber yard and maybe a trip to work once a week or something. Would likely never be going over 40.
