Thanks for all the help and suggestions I am pretty confident in rebuilding have done a few solex carbs with success in the past I will keep you all up to date Just waiting for the kit to work it's easy across the pond

Brilliant found it hiding under a load of dirt It is an ev1 f7

Great thanks I've emailed them to see which is the correct one Many thanks for the info

Hi I finally got a new pump for the desoto Now it works so well the carburettor has a water (petrol)feature going on I need a rebuild kit but can't seem to find one on eBay for a fluid drive carburettor Is this the carb number as I don't see any other numbers on it

Damn I wished notifications had work I just brought3 for 80 dollars each plus 51 dollars postage Thanks for the info

Wow just had a look on eBay pretty expensive them pumps postage is out of this world and I need two plus a carb rebuild kit for the desoto I could put a 6v electric pump on but that's not really the best I prefere original Anybody know where I can get some rebuild kits from?

The gas is clean and free from trash Mind you the Plymouth one was fill of trash so I reckon that's toast as well Looks like I'll need a new pump or rebuild kit then Why does this always happen when you have a person coming to look at buying your car.........

The one off the Plymouth didn't do this till I put it on the desoto

Well after sorting the gear changing problems of the desoto I have been driving it daily.... But now the fuel pump is spitting fuel out of the little hole on the side I have changed it for the one of my 1950 Plymouth and still the same thing happens Any ideas to what's wrong

Brilliant it's working today I lowered the idle down to around 450 And now it changes up in about 2 seconds that's so much better Thank-you all for your advice

Great thanks I'll have an adjust of the idle tomorrow

Firstly hello from sunny Cornwall in the UK I have a 1947 desoto custom with a fluid drive transmission in really enjoying driving this car around But I'm having trouble with my gearbox In high range it is slow to change up I drive it as normal then when I want it to change up I have to lift off the gas and waiting at least ten seconds for the box to change up I have checked and topped up the oil level anybody have any ideas as to what's wrong with it thanks in advance
