ozzie1949 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Is anyone familiar with this carb? I am in the process of a rebuild and have 2 carbs trying to make one. One has a spring under the dashpot and one does not anyone know which would be orginal? Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Your carb should have the electric solenoid (1 or 2 wire) dashpot on top like this picture. Not a screw with a spring on the carb top-thats for a 3 speed trans with fluid drive car. Bob Quote
Tom Skinner Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Ozzie, DodgeB4ya is right but I don't think he understood your question fully. I have an EV1 Carb on my C-38 1948 250.6 cu. in. engine when I re-built the original Carburetor it didn't have the (Light) spring under the Dash Pot Piston either. The one I was using to rebuild it did - which I had the use 2 to build 1 concept also. I put it (The Spring) in under the Dash Pot Piston and when done it Idled much smoother than before. In addition to that I bought a Carter Carburetor Service Manual and it showed there was in fact a small light spring beneath the Dash Pot Piston. I hope this helps. Good Luck!, if you don't like it there remove it by just popping the top off the Carb, however, I think it helped my Idle smooth out quite well. Tom Skinner Huntersville, NC Quote
