I'm getting ready to rebuild the Rochester carb on my 216, and I want to order a rebuild kit from that company, but I can't find my copy of the magazine. I was thinking I would have to buy a back issue of the magazine, but then I realized that this is a perfect use of the Stovebolt Forum. Does anyone have a copy of the article? If so, could you give me the company info?
Thanks

It may be that international subscribers can read it online.

The information is in the March issue under "Unusual Products" and the company name is the Daytona Parts Company. It seems that the valve seat is named after their company. | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 183 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2003 Posts: 183 | Great! Thanks a lot. The Stovebolters come through again.

always been a problem when used with alcohol.

The only way ive been able to get a kit for one is through the specialty supliers. There have been a lot of different configurations of needle & seats through the years but the tapered needle seams to be the old standby.

It appears to be the old Parker Brothers valve from many years ago. http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Fuel_valves.htmAs to the FLAPS aftermarket repair kits: There are currently 3 manufacturers (of which I am aware) that produce the aftermarket kits. Regardless of what name is on the box, the inner kit comes from one of these three. I don't know much about one (don't like their parts), but the other two have a rough guideline that if they do not sell 1000 of any given kit in a year, they obsolete the kit. Speciality carburetor kit manufacturers do not have such criteria. Jon.
