rodneybeauchamp Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Doing great work and nice to find a few problems along the way that you can fix. Mikes Carburettor Parts has a website with the original Carter Carburettor Manuals that you can download and print off to make it easier if you don’t have a guide. Jon at Carburettor King also has some great technical articles that are worth studying too! I only rebuilt mine three times but enjoyed each experience. I was replacing the original Marvel carburettor with a Carter from a ‘47 Buick and it worked well. With the original it was hit and miss whether it would start however the Carter was reliable. And you can see some of the fun I had under the Pre-War Buick forum here. Enjoy! Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀 Edited June 22 by rodneybeauchamp Extra details and correction and added a link (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robuick46 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 I disassembled the two throttles, three screws went out without any problems, one of them broke off although I was careful. New mission, drill out the old screw and cut a new thread. Since I have not found a suitable screw on the Internet, I will mount a M2.5mm screw that has the same core hole diameter. But that has to wait until later, until I got all the parts. ...cleaning, brushwheel and polishing. Despite multiple oiling and heating the throttle shaft arm screw did not get opened. I had the fear that something could break, so I finally did not remove the throttle shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
