The biggest problem with our carburetors is just what Bill says. They've been rebuilt and worn so bad that they're in bad shape. I suspect that the power piston isn't working and is causing your problem I've got an old friend in Milford, MI that has made a business out of repairing single barrel carburetors on International tractors. He also can redo our carbs. He's set up to machine the base where the throttle shaft goes through and put in bushings to bring them back to standard. He's not cheap, but not overly expensive either. I'd recommend getting in touch with him and have him go through your carb. I might mention that he's the best there is in repairing Quadra Jets also. His contact data is: Mike Finch [email protected] Cell (248)496-6860 He'll let you know how to ship and other data.

It runs like the accelerator pump doesn't work, but when looking down the throat and operating the throttle I see a strong jet of gas, indicating that it does. After driving several miles and fully warmed up, pressing the accelerator too far too fast produces in an impressive backfire through the carburetor, particularly at low RPM. The timing is correct and it runs great in every other way. Any ideas? Thanks, Dennis 1953 3100 with 1954 235 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
