How soon will you be running it and also, did it still have that tag on it?

How soon will you be running it and also, did it still have that tag on it? Yes, it was a good value, especially since they had repair parts available that don't come in a carb kit. It needed new lower butterfly screws. I plan to install it this weekend and try to get my 230ci running. Yes, the tag was still on the carb. I was lucky to find this truck which was essentially unmolested by the prior owners. I'm the third owner and last one had it since 1969. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Looks good and very good price. Maybe I missed it in a previous post, but could you post who the rebuilder is?

Therefore I can't say anything about how it performs. Otherwise, it was good turnaround time and very professional. They called me when it was done and shipping was quick too. If they treat everyone like they treated me, I think they'll get plenty of business.

I would also like to hear the results once you install it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | Well, my truck DID start for the first time right after I installed the carb. I think my timing is off, so I'll update things once I get that straight. I am using an electric fuel pump to run fuel from a gas can to the carb. My truck's tank isn't fit to use until I clean it. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 293 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 293 | I was wondering, when they test run the carb, is this a situation where you need to run it soon to keep the gaskets from drying out and shrinking, or is it good to set for some time until your ready to fire it up? Any idea? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | I was wondering, when they test run the carb, is this a situation where you need to run it soon to keep the gaskets from drying out and shrinking, or is it good to set for some time until your ready to fire it up? Any idea? Give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to answer your question. As for me, I plan to start my truck every week to keep things running. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | Just a note to say that the truck idles now. Brakes aren't done so I can't drive it. Carb seems to perform as it should. Happy Happy Happy!
