64 Slant carburetor problems

To help us ID your carb, post photographs of it. Original equipment could be a Carter BBS or a Holley 1920. "Remanufactured" carbs such as the Champion unit you put on are notorious for not working well.

All the Carter BBS and BBD carbs have brass floats, there is no other kind for them.

Carburetor operation and repair manuals and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download.


The rebuild kits from www.daytonaparts.com have the best design of inlet needle/seat assembly. Nobody's kits include a proper float gauge any more, though; they just have a useless paper-strip ruler. So once you ID the carburetor, you might also want to get an old kit (eBay) to raid the float tool from.
