Hickory Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Well I have my ball and ball off my car for a rebuild. Last season my car had a stumble on quick acceleration, so while I have everything apart for some fresh paint, I ordered a kit. I found my dashpot plunger dissinergrated and hope this may be some the issue. I also found a broken spring on the throttle shaft on the opposite side of the linkage. What does this spring do and are they available. It looks like to me this would hold the dashpot plunger in the up.position. how much will this affect the operation. Vehicle is a 49 Chrysler royal ty for some insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeb4ya Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 BTW...That pump link looks like it is on backwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I don't think it's in backwards, if I lift the pump then just flip it forward. The carb is still disassembled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Maybe I'm wrong..??? Here's a picture of a new Chrysler B&B carb showing the accelerator pump link... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Ok I see it should be on the inside, it's always been how it is since I've owned it. I can fix that as I rebuild it, but my main concern is what will that broken spring do to how the carb operates, as I'm not sure how I'm going to find that spring. Good eye Andy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Maybe? https://www.carburetor-parts.com/Carter-BB-Dashpot-Spring--451-_p_4732.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 It looks right?. Now what would the broken spring do to performance. Could that or the worn dashpot plunger cause the hesitation I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Unfortunately, I have zero experience with that type carb, no idea what the dashpot is supposed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hey Andy, I was watching the rebuild video from mikes carb. And the pump linkage was like mine not your new one. It may not matter in function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
