New carbs?

Featured Replies

Dang, I get my car on the road again after the new suspension and the new tranny, a day later my carbs go out... Both of them! One doesn't open, and the other the floater that regulates the fuel that comes in, broke. This never ends, oh well. Plenty of good times fixing this thing, but I just want this to end. I hope this is one of the last major repairs. Somehow I doubt that.

Cheers!

I was looking at the MSA carb rebuild kits, they have one for '70-'71, one for '72 and another for '73. My car is a '73 but the carbs are round-tops so the '73 rebuild kit is out of the question. The question is How do I know what carbs I have 70-71 or 72 Carbs? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Albert

The round top domes - if they are held down with four screws they are '70-71 carbs. If they are held down with three screws they are '72 carbs.

Cool, thanks Arne ... I'll go and take a look and see which ones I have.

Turns out I have one 70-71 and one 72.

Thanks,

Albert

Albert,

I just did a search of the Motorsport site to see what all is in the rebuild kit for the Hitachi sidedrafts and at what price . Couldn't find it.

Do you have a part number?

I have the catalog, here is the part number for the

70-71 Rebuild kit:

11-3150

72 Rebuild Kit:

11-3151

and for 73-74:

11-3152

I hope that helps,

Albert

Those numbers also work on the site, I just tried it and it worked. Just put one of those numbers into the search bar.
