Anybody here know anything about carbs?
 

I should probably post this in a different section but anyways I need some help figuring out a carb.The car is a 81 Accord and the fuel pump died the other day so I went and got another as it was only 10 months old and under warranty.The pump im using is a Mr Gasket micro pump intented for import carb setups as its low pressure[2-3.5psi 42gph] and worked well for a 10months daily driving.When i went to get a replacement they only had the domestic model in stock[5-7psi 37gph] so I took that and a MR gasket pressure regulator to turn it down.That pump was defective and lasted 20 minutes.I then ordered the right one that I had been running for 10 months and put it in tonight minus regulator as i dont need it now.When you turn the key on the pump fires up and sits there filling the carb up until it pukes out all over the engine :S What the ---- causes that other then way to much volume or something?Im kinda lost i dont know much about carbs and im assuming either the pump is somehow sending way to much fuel or something has ruptured in the carb?

Edit- I think the float is stuck.

too much pressure, will do this. think of why people need boost modded carbs for blow-thru :)

edit: just saw my sig. what the ---- happened? why did it go back to the binder?

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

needle and seat is not sealing, too much fuel pressure, float has a leak and is filled with gas(no longer floating) or float level too high. Get a cheap ass carb kit it will come with everything for a rebuild and all the specs and adjustments ;)

Well i called my Chevy buddy[muscle car guy] and he says the same so im going to open it up in the morning and give it a go.He said to get a carb kit and it will have directions as i suck at the carb thing.

Edit- He siad the same thing as Highroller.Lol

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

make sure you can get a kit for that bitch before you rip it down, some older hondas are hard to find, blow all the ports out real good when you clean the bowl. Get the carb numbers before you try and get a kit. ;)

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

you should be aware that carb kits usually do not come with floats. :1 :1 :1

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

99% of the time there not needed ;)

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

Ha ha my buddy said the same thing :l It looks like a Holley 2 barrell but im gonna go hit the parts stores in the morning and see what it available.It has the float bowl i believe its called as a square box sitting on one side which is i guess just like a Holley.For such a simple crude thing carbs are a real bitch :P

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

he is very smart, lol :P

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

whats the bitch? a flat bit screwdriver, a pair of needlenose, a big crecent wrench, and something for scraping gasket is all you need to rebuild pretty much any holley.

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

Well the bitch is there is close to a 100 pieces and parts.I figured the piece of ---- out though just had to adjust the float level via the adjustment screw on top of the carb :1 Grabbed a rebuild kit today and will take it off and rebuild it next weekend for some practice and to get it dialed in for winter use.

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

dam I forgot about that, its been a long time since I fucked with one of those. :1

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

get some cleaner too, the bowl might be varnished up and the float could be sticking.

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

Ya i will def clean the ---- out of everything when i rebuild it.There is a big screw on top of the carb that i thought was the mixture screw but its the float level and i think I adjusted way to far out when i was ------- around :1 Now that i found the mixture screw on the bottom i leaned it out a bit and it runs better already.This carb is a 3 barrell or that is what its called as it has two barrells one primary and then two stacked on each other for the secondary as it pulls the top one open with vacum i believe when you hammer on it :S Good learning experience as i have not fucked with a carb in years.

Re: Anybody here no anything about carbs?
 

if it's an actual holley then yes, that's right. but there's only about 26 parts to a holley 2300 :)

Re: Anybody here know anything about carbs?
 

No it is a Keihn i believe its spelled.I think most Honda carbs are made by them.There is literally 50-100 pieces alot tiny little better not drop it or you will never find again type pieces :S

haha, just stick a small pipe with a needle valve in it, velocity stack it on one end and weld the other to a flange for the manifold.
