Title: K&L carb
Post by hotprops on 03/16/15 at 15:43:03

is the economy carb rebuild kit any good ? got mine today looks good, but i will be pulling the carb and looking for the root cause of the airbox being full of fuel
so if i find something in the carb that looks like it might have caused it would i be better off just using /keeping the installed oem parts? or just pop in the new parts? thanks eta 2009 stock s40 1900 miles

On this forum....if your thread is up a day or two and nobody responds by slamming a product....they either don't know the answer to your specific question - or they have never had a bad experience with that product. Some folks may have use the product before....but don't remember whose carb kit they used.

Usually the best carb rebuild kit is a can of carb cleaner. Unless you need everything in the kit it's just all a big guess.

Here's what I suggest for a carb "kit".

- Can of carb cleaner. Get every orifice twice. Wear safety glasses. Follow-up with compressed air.
- Clean everything in a throw-away turkey pan. This way if parts try to run away they are contained in the pan.
- Replace all of the screws with cap bolts (I think they are M4x10 and M4x15)

Optional,
- Rejet if necessary (it's always good to have spare brass)
- Replace the float bowl gasket, but only if leaking
- Have some shims on hand
