My carb on my 83 gl wagon is in deperate need of a rebuild. Im heading down to the junk yard and picking up another hitachi to rebuild. I am wondering where to buy a rebuild kit for this carb. I have been looking on the net and found a couple sites selling them for around $50 is that a good price.

Thanks

David

the most common problem is the worn out throttle shaft bushings. a regular rebuild will not help you with that.

 

check out roobuilders

http://www.ccrengines.com/roobuilders/

or a local machine shop possibly

The reason i was wanting to rebuild was because i know i have a vacume leak at the gasket between the carb and the intake manifold. I thought that if i had the carb off i might as well rebuild it. Also i was having trouble finding a new gasket to replace the old on and assumed it would be included in a rebuild kit.

carb good, manifold to carb gasket bad

solution: rebuild kit, incluses gaskets, seats, NOT THE FLOAT

the GASKET is available separate
