Well the Carter YF 938 SD isn't to bad but it's leaking gas around the throttle shaft. I've been thinking about putting a 'kit' in it but that wouldn't fix the throttle shaft. I got a quote of $ 188.00 plus shipping from one place but I didn't mention the throttle shaft to them and don't know how much those bushing jobs go for.. Other carburetor places want up to $400. for a rebuild. I've seen the Solex for sale for $120. but don't know anything about them. I read somewhere that I would have to install a low preessure fuel pressure regulator for the Solex to work right. So, what's a guy to do? Any recommendations? |

I would look into Recarbco in Pittsburg,Ca. I have had a few done there and all worked great. 189.00 for a 1 BBL rebuild last time I used them. You can send it to them and when finished they send it back. http://www.recarbco.com/ |

I have a Solex for my 63 3B and it works great without a pressure regulator. It was given to me by a friend of mine who went back to the stock setup on his. I'd probably take Ramblin's advice though if I was considering purchasing one. The Carter is a much better product and for the money, I'd rather have my Carter rebuilt. |

This condition does not necissarily imply a bad throttle shaft. It implies a flooded condiion which is the effect from having too much fuel in the fuel well. YF carburetor flooding most likely indicates a bad or inncorrectly sized float valve. |

So , I should take a peek in the float bowl before I do anything else? |

I sure would. I'd measure the fuel depth whenever the problem emerges. |
