DARRIN CARBURETOR

Gary, did you check the leather piece on the end of the excellerator pump? Some times they dry out and harden... So,  the pump won't work properly.

If not,  try taking the top off the carb and lubricate and soften the leather. Your  problem may the the excellerator pump.

Aloha

You can't bring back a bad accelerator pump in a carb.
The old material is attacked by modern fuels.
Besides, changing one out to modern-day material one is a trivial task.

Thanks,  great tip.

BTW. Most classic car owners here use unleaded fuel because we have marinas close by that have a market for recreational boating. Some Seventy Six gas stations also sell unleaded fuel here.

Also,  if an old car is useing unleaded...the gas tank should be inspected. We have lots of problems here with old gas tanks.

Aloha,
Rich

I have a Carter YF 2071s for sale. It was on my HJ when It arrived. Ran well but the air cleaner would not fit due to the ring on the 2071s horn. It was professionally rebuilt(has a tag) and has very low miles. Ran well when removed. Don't think I'll keep it until I get a Durwood, Upps I mean Darwin.
