Cooper40 Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) Hi everyone, I am looking for a carb kit for our 1949 Plymouth. It has a Carter D6H1 carburetor on it. This link that I found says its from '46 to '48 but it lists my carb as one that it can fit on. Would this work to get? Thanks! https://www.partsgeek.com/rr5g35x-dodge-deluxe-carburetor-repair-kit.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ff&utm_content=TS&utm_campaign=PartsGeek+Google+Base&utm_term=1946-1948+Dodge+Deluxe+Carburetor+Repair+Kit+Standard+Motor+Products+101A+46-48+Dodge+Carburetor+Repair+Kit+1947&fp=pp&gbm=a&gad_source=1&cid=18313611776&gclid=CjwKCAjwzN-vBhAkEiwAYiO7oJqCm8JFQZEFCH7X0BC_YaYzi2ADCZHyi68IYaQ-ps8lZofMzabngxoCNY8QAvD_BwE Edited March 18 by Cooper40 Quote
Ivan_B Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) This looks like the standard B&B kit, which will fit multiple carbs. I am pretty sure I've got something similar off e-bay or amazon, last time. It will probably have some extra parts you won't use. Also, before you replace the jets, check to make sure that they are the same size. And don't forget to make sure that your float is nice and empty Edited March 18 by Ivan_B Quote
Cooper40 Posted March 18 Author Report Posted March 18 @Ivan_B Ok yeah I'll check that. Thank you! I'm also wanting to get fuel line and I'm not sure what size to get for this carb. Do you know what size they take? I was looking and seeing 5/16? Quote
Ivan_B Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 Mine is 5/16 as well; copper lines work well and are easy to work with. Make sure that you read the description well, plenty of sellers sell copper-plated lines (which are fine as well, unless that's not what you are looking for, of course). Quote
Cooper40 Posted March 18 Author Report Posted March 18 @Ivan_B Ok cool. I should of specified im just wanting to get fuel hose and rig up a boat tank not fuel line. But it should be the same size right? Quote
Ivan_B Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 I am not sure. Do you still have the old metal line sticking from the carb? It should have a flare connection. You can take that line with you to the store and get a gas-resistant hose that fits, and clamp it to the metal line. Also, the OEM system should have a rubber hose between the fuel pump (on the engine) and the metal line (mounted to the body). You can just cut that hose and connect your new hose in there. However, I would not mess around with a temporary tank unless you are just testing (and you do not need a temporary tank for testing). I would definitely not attempt to drive with one. Just get the old tank and lines cleaned, it is not difficult and should not take long. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 (edited) For consideration, I purchased a carb rebuild kit from these folks (The Carburetor Doctor) last year. The carburetor in our D24 has an odd number that this Forum helped track down, and then this shop was very helpful in finding the correct kit, a kit for the "normal" D24 carb would not have had all the parts.

Booger Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 Search out Mike's carb. Rebuild kits are around 45$ Quote
Ivan_B Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 That is a bit pricey. Are those kits substantially different from the cheaper ones? Here is the kit I bought. Quote
Cooper40 Posted March 21 Author Report Posted March 21 @Ivan_B I'm planning on just doing a rubber line to a small fuel tank to get it idling. Quote
Ivan_B Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 (edited) Not hooking up the fuel pump, I guess? Just gravity-feed it with a bottle, then. Edited March 21 by Ivan_B Quote
