Guys,
I am here in London UK, and need some help.
I have just got my F100 delivered but the carb is leaking fuel.
I need either a new carb or preferably a Carb Rebuilt Kit..
Can someone advise me the best option as i need it pretty urgent.
I really appreciate all suggestions .
Many thanks
Manny London

 

We'll need to know what engine and carb you have.

Generally, gas leaking is because the float isn't set right, has become unhooked from its hinge pin, or has a hole in it. You can usually take the carb bowl cover off to check/adjust it without ruining the gasket.

i need a rebuilt kit for the hOLLEY R897 carb//
any suggestion? where to buy one?/

 

Here's one that is for the 847 and the 897...
Holley 847, 897 1 Barrel Carburetor Kit - 1941-51

I got mine for my 847 from LMC item # 43-3810
Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

 

I am surprised to see that style carb on a 1959 F100.
Edit: What engine does the F100 have?

 

I didn't catch that it was on a 59, just saw the Holley number. You may want to disregard my earlier post.

Can you show a picture of your carb?

 

Go to mikescarburetorparts.com they have parts for just about every old carburetor on the planet.

 

Yes, that's the first link I gave in post #4 above.
