I have been browsing for hours and reading anything and everything I can about the Carter YF 2392sa carb Has anyone successfully used another version of this as parts are super hard to find. I have rebuilt it but I can't seem to find another one that I can get a few parts off of it.. Can I use a 938 or 2467 etc? There must be one super close in specs that I don't have to worry about blowing the motor. Thanks |

Here's the cheapest alternative. http://m.ebay.com/itm/252111511119 Information furnished to me a long time ago from one of the most reliable persons I know and I noted at the time was a Carter YF 738S or YF 738SA as a acceptable substitute for a Carter YF 2392S on early DJ's. Most importantly you'd want to check if the linkage setup is the same. If not that might be fairly difficult to correct. I've been watching this eBay carb for months but I haven't checked the linkage nor do I need it. 938 or 2467 would be completely incorrect. Charles |

GREAT and now a little background on how this carb came to your attention!! Along with a very special thanks to Mr. Bruce Agan who first provided the information way back in 2011.
I first found and reposted this info Sept. 10, 2014 when looking for carbs myself. I set up a standing eBay search for those particular carbs at that time Even when I no longer needed a DJ CARB I left the search in place The search never turned up ANYTHING until When that one showed up I watched it for months. The owner listed it for 45 days at a time and I think he renewed the listing on three seperate occasions because it never sold. During that time the price never changed And FINALLY someone (you) showed up on the DJ board looking for a carb and I was able to pass that information along!!! From the pictures it's a great looking carb. I'm truly honored to be a part of this chain of events and I hope it serves you well. Special note: during my years long of having that search set up that's the only Carter 738sa that ever appeared on EBay!!! I'm glad that somebody finally snagged it!!! Charles |
