Carb help (Ford 2bbl)
I am rebuilding my carb and I am almost done but I have an issue.
When putting all the external stuff on the carb the choke plate does not close all the way. I think I put everything back the correct way but am not sure. Its a manual choke setup.
Look at the pics

I have the same carb and can get a pict up later tonight. "However" if that outside is any sign of the shape of the inside of that carb... I'd say "start over" Chem Dip....(everything) use compressed air to dry all the parts

The part you show in the picture looks right but I cant see the connector to the actual choke plate, The spring goes below the little nut and you adjust it up and down, you might have something assembled wrong at the top can you post a picture of that to ?
Edit I did notice something, your spaceing of the fast Idle cam is way off the cam should be in alighnment with the fast Idle Adj screw, look at it from the frount, use your washers to space it back out.

Redmanbob -- I thought about having it rebuilt but I actually had a hard time coming up with the $18 for the rebuild kit.
jav -- ok I will flip the washers around. At the top there is a C-clip then the copper lifter that is connected to the chike plate than the spring and finaly the nut to hold the spring. I will get a pic up later.
gashog -- you saying the part tha moves the rod up and down is on backwards? I tried to flip it around but when I do so the rod dosen't go through the hole in the umbrella. Wait.. ithink is see it now...
Thank you guys for the help. Hopefully i will get it back on the road this weekend.

Sorry but I have no pics.
I moved the washers to the inside and whan I flipped the part over the rod did not fit to the hole(rod was too short) so I put it back to the way it was. Just moving the washers worked and the choke plate closes fully now.
I installed it and the truck fired right up.
One little problem that was there before and part of the reason I rebuilt it. Even with the choke pulled (plate closed) or even 1/2 open if I blip the gas pedel the truck litterally sounds like it turns off for a second. If I slowley press on the gas pedel the motor revs fine. Any thoughts. Someone mentioned an accelerator pump going bad???

on second thought they sell the diaphram separatly for about 5.00 and if it runs fine outside of a surge on fast acceleration. Maybe the diaphram would do it. However if it doesn't one comes with the kit at the added expense..? You had the carb apart did it look worn, torn, weak ?

Make sure the accelerator arm is contacting the diaphram center, if their is a gap there when you open the butterflys the carb gets no shot of gas and it goes lean for a moment till the contact is made and the diaphram pushes fuel out.(whew) There are 3 holes on the rear part that it goes to ,and 2 on the arm at the diaphram use the 2 hole from the top on the rear one and the inside hole on the frount one, with the throttle screw just touching the stop you should have zero clearance if not bend the rod till their is zero clearance, then it should give you a solid shot when you step on the gas pedal.
