Carburetors are fairly simple parts to rebuild, therefore going out and spending over 150.00 is not something I would recommend. The only way I would actually replace one is if one of the sections is warped and leaking fuel, or the carburetor has caught fire. Rebuild kits usually cost between 20.00 and 75.00. If you are having an issue with fuel delivery, inside the carburetor. You may look at replacing the accelerator plump diaphragm or the blowout valve on the carburetor, also the fuel filter. If you have a Carter, or a Chrysler Carburetor, the accelerator pump is internal, just rebuild it.
Thank You Good Question,
Well, I know when a tire on my car needs to be replaced when there is no tread left on it. What are YOU referring to
Fuel injection.
How does it run? If it is running rich or lean then the carburetor could be the culprit. If it is original from 1986 I would bet it needs a rebuild.
Because the tube (hose) is defective and needs to be replaced. That tube is coming directly from the fuel filter being pumped by the fuel pump to the carburetor. Replace the tube/hose or you WILL have a major engine fire and/or huge KABOOM.
it goes out and your heat will be gon
How do you know if it needs to be replaced
The carburetor needs to be removed, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and replaced. If any gaskets tear in the process you will need a rebuild kit.
Give us the year, make, model and engine size, you may not even have a carburetor.
No, a 1995 Chevrolet Suburban does not have a carburetor. The carburetors were changed in 1995 and replaced with fuel injectors.
I believe that the carburetor type fuel/ air ratio delivery system was replaced by Fuel Injection, no carburetor to the best of my knowledge.
Gas is not getting into the carburetor because no Saturn made ever had one.
If you are referring to leaking out of one of the overflow hoses, your float is sticking. If it is leaking from the body of the carb, the gasket where the carb and float bowl bolt together needs to be replaced.
