Misadjusted or leaking needle valve in the float bowl of the carb. Needs a carb rebuild kit.

Hi Guys. i took your advice and took the carb to a carb specialist. 1st they said they cant do a rebuild as it has a plastic base??? Now they say the carb has a crack and the only way to fix is to do a weber conversion (for about $1000!!!) Do any of you have any advice for me? I dont know if I should believe these guys or not, or if there is another option that I have. Regards Warren <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Go to Mitsu and buy a carb base. Laugh at the shop people for thinking you're that dumb and take your truck away. Buy a used carb off ebay or car-part.com

If you can't rebuild it since it has a plastic base, why are rebuild kits available? I've rebuilt three -- the plastic base has nothing to do with it. If it's cracked, then that is a problem -- what do you want to bet that either it's NOT cracked or that they did it? Paranoid? Maybe... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> Anyway, I'd go somewhere else or take Eddy's advice. Terry
