I thought the Skyhawk was a Monza (Vega) based RWD?

on these photos, Is this the carburetor ID number? 2197S G6

I occasionally drive a Model 'A' as a wedding getaway/parade car. We run 50% antifreeze year round.

Very Nice !!

Was there a Buick equivalent to the Cadillac Cimarron/Cavalier Chevrolet ?

When I get home from work, I'll look at the Carburetor ID, and make a call,,

Apollo? I haven't seen one in years.... Skylark name was moved to the former Apollo...

Ah Ha! I'll make a call Thanks

The accelerator start is very convenient for underhood cranking. I do it often, turn on the switch and crank from under the hood using the throttle. For priming the carb , observing the engine while cranking. etc,. Cuts the need for an extra person inside the car. One person can crank the car, while under the hood. And it's part of Buicks' character. As much as Dynaflow and fender venti-ports

Hooray !!!

Thanks, that's good to know! Mine is a Carter, I'll narrow that down looking at the numbers on it. And, as far as vendors; Back to my original question, who sells them? I remember seeing some offered a few years ago... I looked at CARS and Bob's and Kanter.... I didn't see them

Fill it with an appropriate mix of anti-freeze. then drain it out, saving the mix. that will leave anti freeze in the 'pockets'

That's a good suggestion! I've got push button switch and wires I was going to use on my Ford

Glad to help. It looks like they'll need you to send yours in, for a rebuild

When you get the choke set up as the knowledgeable folks here have outlined. Also, check your timing. Bad timing can cause hard starting.

I'm sure that it is just 'gummed up'. And a good cleaning would make it right again. But, I would like to have another on hand before, I go taking mine apart. I'ld hate to bugger it up and not have a replacement.

Very Nice !!

Where Does One Find a New Carburetor Start Switch ?

Thanks !! I've since got a pump. I had a duplicate thread on the BCA section of the forum. I should've deleted this post, Thanks just the same
