Carburetor Rebuild Basics covers the basics of rebuilding a carburetor. Now there are a LOT of different carburetors out there so this video won’t apply to all of them, but it will give you a general idea of what you would be in for if you decided to rebuild one. Me, I like rebuilding carburetors. There’s something about mechanical things like carburetors that interest me. How even the smallest part has a big effect on the overall operation of your engine. Since we’ve gone to fuel injection carburetors have become somewhat obsolete. I’m still a fan though. I may be a little rusty on this stuff since I haven’t done this in some time but I hope this video helps you just the same. If nothing else, I hope you’re entertained by it.

  1. Ah how the memories come flooding (is that a carb pun?) back! That choke was the bane of my existence.. The exhaust gas would eat away at the little fingers on the end of the choke plate axle that engaged the spring, and sooner or later the little fingers would break off and the choke would no longer work. And, of course, that was something that was NOT included in the rebuild kit. So, every couple of years you just got used to replacing the water pump and the carb. Fortunately neither part was very expensive nor very difficult to replace.

  2. I know this is 6 years old, but I'm commenting anyway! 😉
    I MISS Carburetors!!
    I'm a Retired Ford Tech, ASE Certified as a Master Tech in Carburetion and Fuel Systems.

    Going through these old Videos of yours is making me want to get an old Car, just to mess with.

    Even going to a Auto Wrecking Yard and getting a few Carbs, just to rebuild/modify!!

    Now I know you want nothing to do with that 200ci Stovepipe Engine, but back in the day we used to swap those Holleys for the Carter 1bbl off of a 300ci 6cyl Ford Truck. They're almost 100cfm larger and significantly improve torque.
    Bolts right up, and all linkages fit the same!

  3. I’m about to rebuild my 78’ Honda CVCC carburetor on my own. I’ve never done a rebuild nor do I really understand what everything does but I am going to attempt it.. as long as i keep my GoPro recording on my head throughout the whole thing i should be fine.. maybe.. lol

  4. I am so glad I watch wrangler star (either him or sensible prepper I forget which) as I used to watch you for one of my classes and I could not remember your channel name but he recommended your channel for learning about car stuff and that makes my week

  5. For some reason when I set the float right and start up my engine I’ll let it idle for a minute or two then when I turn it off for like 10 seconds and try to turn the ignition it won’t run could someone help me please?

  6. Amazing what this man can do with Stanley and Harbor freight screwdrivers and 2 adjustible wrenches. No expensive Snap-on , Mac, Matco and other super expensive tools. He relies mostly on his knowledge and wisdom " take pics" , also his enthusiasm plays a big part on his success. I messed up , didn't do what he's advocating. I wish l had seen this video before l started messing with my carb. Now l have a disaster, springs all over my garage and my little balls are now smaller.

  7. Carburetors along with analog vinyl records, video cassette, mechanical devices with linkages and springs, etc.

    Mp3, blue ray, 4k streaming and other digital format and fuel injection are electronic computer controlled devices.

  8. I once did a rebuild on my small lawnmowers carb so that obviously means I can take my trucks carb apart no problem EZ PZ

  9. If only i could rebuild my asshole like you can rebuild the carburetor. I need an extensive overhaul. been running very rich of late and no matter how many screwdrivers i shove up there it just keeps on spewing gas and liquids
