Carb work
I need to do some carb work on our 75 Gremmy 232. Are these dificult to rebuild and is there anything I need to look out for? Its running rough and terribly rich right now. |

Re: Carb work
nah, these carbs are a sinch. Just make sure to watch how it comes apart, theres alot of springs on one shaft, it can be confusing if your not careful. But its not that bad, I rebuild a carter YF-1 (the single barrel carb on your gremlin) in less than 45 minutes. Rebuild kits are easy to find anywhere. These carbs were used on all kinds of vehicles from fords to dodges. But since you say its running excessivley rich I'd make sure your float is good when you take it apart. You can do this by submerging it in water, if it sinks or has bubbles, replace it. And make sure to keep track of where the idles screws are when you take them out. If you need to know how to set these when you have the carb rebuilt just ask, its easy. To me though sound like you just have a stuck/bad float, or need and seat that is letting gas poor in at all times including idle. A knew needle and seat will be included in the rebuild kit. Good luck!

Re: Carb work
Ok, I am tearing into it a bit while on the car because I was hoping to just find the float out of adjustment. First findings are that the bowl only has an 1/8 of an inch of gas in it. The needle and seat are clean and functioning properly. This leads me to believe that there is a problem causing the fuel in the bowl to leak directly into the manifold. Guess its time to take it off the rest of the way. |

Re: Carb work
To me sounds like your float is bad. If its always sunk then gas can just poor in all the time. That'd be my guess. The black neoprene or whatever kind of plastic it is eventually loose there boincey. (I probly spelled that wrong) And metal floats can spring a leak. Good luck, at least floats are cheep!

Re: Carb work
When I removed the float it was empty,I submerged it in water and it did not bubble and it floated no problem.Is there a gasket on the bottom of the shaft with all the springs on it that could leak fuel directly into the intake ? Thanks for the help... |
