I got the truck with a new Carter yf 1bbl carb on it . The p/o got it put on the truck $400 and they could never get it to run rite ,I took it apart and discoverd that the accelerator pump inlet ball bearing was missing but the keeper was there. Gas was squriting back into the float boal instead of into the throat.
I put a 1/8" steal bearing in it and the accelerator pump seemed to work >
My question is should that bearing be aluminum or steal ?"being a weight issue"
Aluminum would close the check valve a little quicker and squrit more gas into the throat i would think. Any thoughts ?. Thanks
wait... they paid 400 bucks for a carter yf 1bbl? they got had. I'd have to go back to my manuals at home to give you an answer on steel or aluminum, but 400 bucks?!?!
Yes he did get hosed and the shop never got it to run rite.
It runs a lot better sense i put the bb in the accelerator inlet check valve.
But should it be aluminium ?
