Object:  To recover worn and warped carburetor bodies and to return body-to-slide clearance to original specifications, thereby allowing precision control of the idle settings.

Procedure:  This process does not involve a sleeve!   The used carburetor body is bored to accept an oversize chrome plated brass slide, the mounting flange is milled flat, and the o-ring groove is re-cut as necessary. Because of the design of the slide, the original choke slide cannot be used.  All other original parts are retained.

Benefits:

• The recovery of an otherwise "junk" carburetor body at about half the cost of a new carburetor.
• Longer carburetor life through the use of a plated, long- wearing slide.
• The oversize bore provides a larger contact area between the slide and body, thereby lowering the contact area pressure and minimizing the wear on the body.
• The heavier slide also minimizes the slide "flutter" at idle speed, a major cause of slide and body wear.
• Ultimately, the ability to adjust the idle mixture to the correct specification and be able to maintain a reliable idle speed once the engine is at operating temperature.

Cost:

    Body Only..... (Using Your carburetor Body).....$75.00
