sqrlgtr 767 #1 Posted Thursday at 06:56 PM This a first for me, this chiiinaa carb weeps fuel out of top of carb. I had stuck it on awhile back and it runs out ok but I have a couple Carter n carbs that I rebuilt this week so one of these will be going on the 857 along with the rebuilt fuel pump ready for another 50years of service. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 9,796 #5 Posted yesterday at 09:18 AM (edited) I worked as an Assembler years ago for a local company that built valves for the Chemical, Petroleum, and Nuclear Industries. Once built, they would be hydro tested - tap water inside pressurized to usually 5000 PSI. Amazing how many were leak free at 4500 PSI, but failed at 5000.

Hard to find a real carburetor today that will work on your engine. And if you do find one, they’re big dollars. Glade you saved them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any debris in the bowl or passages? @lynnmor yeah, I've had off more times than I would like to admit lol. I finally came to the conclusion it's just junk. If it didn't leak, I would be satisfied with it, but it just keeps on dripping. It does seem to go way lean in a long hard pull so it may go from weeping to drawing air IDK. @Retired Wrencher agreed.
