Carb issue

[xxspikexx]

ok things started to go ok i got a screw extractor and replacement hex head screws for my stuck screw problem.. i disassembled labeled and sorted the parts by carb.. but however on the last carb i took apart, while removing the float the pin was stuck so i pushed with a pin pusher then switched to a screw driver and back again the pin was still stuck... well while doing this, one of the arms that holds the float in place cracked and snapped off.. i know this cant be repaired.. what i am getting at is does anyone know where i can get a replacement carb body for #1???

[almarconi]

Do a search for float pin post, this topic has been covered before. Several people have offered fixes for it. If you can't repair the post, start a thread in the parts wanted section. Someone probably has a carb body laying around.

As almarconi mentioned, that topic has been coverer MANY times, with varying rates of success, but one thing is very important ...

sorry about that i should of mentioned the bike i honestly never thought of putting it as my signature

and steve i saw that one pic that you posted on this topic it gave me an idea now i just need a welder to do something similar i am also calling Neanderthal cycle salvage in CA to see if they have one or the whole wrack.. but as alway i check here for ideas. and lastly i need to do more searches in the future theres nothing that will happen to me that hasent happend to someone else..

No need to buy a carb rack, you can fix the broken post.

[xxspikexx]

can any 32mm carb wrack work? with some tuning?

[rustybronco]

I can't answer about ANY 32mm racks, but for the most part yes.
linkages will vary and the jetting may have to be changed.

so in theory it could work i prob would have to talk with the manufacturer but it gives me options

[elwaxoro]

The PO repaired one on mine with some wire: tapped a hole perpendicular to the existing hole down on the unbroken part, made a groove in the top of the broken part, looped the wire around and tightened it down. Looks like he glued it, too. Seems ok.

solved for now

i found a place to get a carb in southern cali Neanderthal Cycle salvage said the have a few of them that need "mild cleaning" and are off running bikesso for now it sounds like a good option

[almarconi]

Did you try ebay? Carbs for these bikes are not that hard to find.

[xxspikexx]

naturally and nothing came up which is why i called them i did a google search as well and lol i got re directed to bike spec's here and on other sites google turned up on in spain but he wanted 150euro's for a carb with the same problem as mine (broken float post)

[almarconi]

I don't know what you are searching under, but I found these 2 listings in about 5 minutes. Both will work on your bike.
