I recently got a used Aisan carb off of a '85 pickup on eBay for $41 w/ shipping(<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Good Deal???) Today I started the dissassembley, planning on soaking it tonight and tomorrow and starting to reassemble on tuesday. However while I was removing the secondary main jet I stripped the crap out of the slot on the top that the screw driver fits into (stupid <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> brass!!!) now I can't get anything onto it to get it out.....any ideas?

And my more(or less) important problem is where do I buy new jets for it? I know that the stealer dosen't carry carb parts anymore.....so is there anywhere that would carry the correct ones, oh, and which sizes are the stock jets?

Thanks alot kids. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

The dealer DOES carry jets; just got some a few months ago.
You need the main and slow jets; the float was actually the expensive component.

I presume what you get from Toyota IS stock. They'll need the carb body number stamped on there (eg 6ED1), as the carbs on Celicas vs trucks are a tad different.

Too bad you didn't stop on that jet while you were ahead; that's what PB Blaster and Aerokroil are for. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if Josh has buggered any of those-- HEY JOSH!!

I got the dang thing soakin in it now, hoping I *might* be able to coax it outta there.....hopefully.....where's that carb body number at? Shouldn't I be able to tell them it's from a truck and they can find it? My parts counter guys must not like me then, last time I was in I began to ask about a carb part,(the idle cut solenoid) and he cut me off saying "We don't sell ANY carb parts anymore" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Bah. Well guess I'll try again on monday. Do I need new jets on a rebuild? My rebuild kit came with a new slow jet but not the mains.....Thanks Margie!

Oh yeah...........JOSH!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

Well, it's like anything; if you're already going to the trouble for a teardown, it's not something you want to revisit any time soon! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

The number is stamped on the top of the carb body itself; you'll see it.

I strongly suggest you talk to a different parts person, esp if he simply cut you off (mention to service manager if needed). AND-- you are welcome to tell them that Auto Service Company (our Yota dealership) in Fairbanks, Alaska just ordered one of your moderators a set of jets AND a float about 2 months ago. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />

You can always give Desert Toyota in Tucson a call. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

If you wind up needing numbers, LMK. We just warmed up, so I won't crack a tote lid diggin' em out.

Good point <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Guess it's time to go down to the dealer on monday and raise hell hehe <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

If I need the numbers to prove them wrong, I'll letcha know!

Thanks!! I owe ya a couple of beers <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />.....when I'm legal that is <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> a year is so long!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

And you're calling US kids? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> I was servicing B52's when I was your age. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

I'll be munchin' enchiladas and tacos and watchin' the big screen tomorrow, so I can dig out those numbers if ya need 'em on Montag.

I see in another post you mentioned something about your idle solenoid?

Ya might give the Carburator Exchange there in PHX a call; they should be in the book. They might have a carcass or two laying around to cann a part from. If not, check www.thepartsbin.com

That's Carb and Radiator Exchange? Had a so-so experience with them, they rebuilt my current carb and it's run ok since then.....they seemed like a real good shop though, just had alot going on at the time, and a new guy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah....that thing on TV.....superwhatsitbowl <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> no rush on the numbers though, thanks!

Don't think it's them;

Well, got the darn thing out, drilled a hole through the center of the jet to relieve some of the pressure and then it came right out.....guess I really will need a new jet now, I thing 5/32 is a bit too big <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Another question: what are those two little silver balls that they gave me with the rebuild kit? I can't find anything like that in my old carb but I can hear something when I shake it....where they at??

1. Jets are more/less the same. Use the jets in your old carb. Otherwise I'll give you some next time I'm down in phx. I have 5+ carbs laying around.

2. Bolt extractors work on jets. So does drilling. Glad you got it out.

3. The "silver balls" are actualy lead. Other than a tasty snack, you can plug unneeded ports on the carb.

If you ever need carb parts, just let me know. I think near the end of march I'll start doing my rebuilds again. I have peanty of cores from what I remember(all my stuff is in phx). I kinda miss working on trucks. Just too cold outside right now.
