Please Help.....Calling all carby experts!!!!!!!!

[Silver]

I'll have to go and look at mine in the daylight, but if it doesn't have an emulsion block, and works ok, why would maverick 1's?

On the other hand, if they all have them then go get one :-)

Did you take it a carb specialist or a "I can do everything mechanic" ???

A specialist would know more than a jack of all trades mechanic
Jump onto google do a local search to you for a dedicated specialist
Go see them, they will help

You can buy webber conversion kits on evilbay , around the $500 from memory
So you have options,especially in the 2 barrell carb range
XF fords have the 2 barrell and are cheap,just an option

IF its the lack of economy you wont find a cheap to run TB42 wether carb or EFI unfortunately
They are dear to run

As the others said, check the float level and that it doesn't have a hole in it. If you are contemplating changing the carburetor, then don't install a Weber. They are finicky and often expensive. A Holley 350 and adapter plate will be easier and probably a whole loit cheaper. But the smartest move would be to take it to someone who knows about carbys and have them fix it properly. Carbs are generally easy if you are careful. Don't change it until you are out of options.

thanks everyone for your input. I did send it to a specialist. It travelled 400km to get there and taking it back isn't easy. I really don't want to throw it away as I have already spent $$$ so I am trying. I am only beginning to learn this stuff , so could anyone help me check the float level? Will I need anything special to do this?

I have attached pages 6-9 from the manual which I hope shows the same carby as yours. If so, follow the bits about setting the float level etc. Let me know if you need more. Mine has EFI so I cannot look at mine to help. It should be relatively easy to check though. Run through the checks here and see if this helps. Good luck and don't be afraid to come back and ask if you need more help.

Thanks so much fixer982. I really appreciate your help.

[fixer982]

So have you had a go at it yet? I'm keen to see what caused the problem if you find it.

[maverick1]

Sorry fixer... not as yet... I will get to it hopefully this week.

G'day Maveric1, have you found a solution to your carby problem yet? In the past I've had a few issues with carbies and as a mechanic by trade it used to peev me off when the things wouldn't work properly. I would need to know a little more about your problem to see if I could help.
Let me know if you got it sorted.
Cheers
Brian.
