I NEED TO RANT! i was told so many times that this carburetor is not hard to find. to this day i have yet to find a good core. i have bought 3 cores so far just to all be junk. i wasn't even going to send them to Sparky's carb service because i knew they were junk. he talked me into sending them to him anyway. well he called and said they were mostly door stops. i have to call him back to see if he has a core or what i need to do. i wanted one of these carbs on my car since i got it in 1990 and to this day not got a good one.

 

What was wrong with the cores that made them "junk"?

 

Jensenracing77 you have a PM.

 

I know what you mean. I bought a couple for cheap and they had stripped fuel inlets, holes drilled in them to hold the fuel filter housing, broken and missing parts, corrosion, cracks, etc.
I think with all of them, one good one could be pieced together.
I am very curious to know why Sparky could not do the same with yours.
Sorry for the frustration. I am still on the lookout for a good core myself.

 

mine all have the same problems. and missing parts and broken parts. i have to call him back Monday. he left a message, i think he has a good body but i need to come up with more parts. i will have to see what he has to say.

 

I think I took one off of Muskrats '68 convert (7040250) and put on a 7028250...if you are still desperate, let me know and I will sse if I can locate it's whereabouts...

Let me know exactly what pieces you are missing or need.I might have them.I know I have one 250,but the bottom has a different throttle arm,so the arm/shaft was either replaced,or the whole bottom was switched.The main body looks good,but it sounds like you have that already.I could use a few other tops & bottoms from 1970 carbs.

 

i talked to him yesterday. he said with a couple of my parts and some of his he could get me going now. (he thinks) thanks for the help everyone.

 

Keep us posted on how it turns out and how it looks after rebuild!
