This is 100% the clearest video I have ever watched. Rebuilt a whole carb for the first time in about 2 hours with your videos. 10/10 execution in how you explain everything. Thank you for such a high quality video!

I can't imagine a better carb rebuilding video. Excellent camera angles and lighting, clear step by step instructions. Perfect! Subscribed.

He's the Bob Ross of carb cleaning. Very calming voice. Great video!!!

A suggestion. Instead of holding the top of the carb with your hand when measuring the float drop, get a couple of brinks (stacked) and set the carb top on the bricks (fuel bowls hanging down). Now you have both hands free to measure, and not shaking (particularly for us older types).

Soooo....I am DIY'er with a 1964 Corvette that has a Carter 3460S carb. I have been plagued with rough idle issues and can't find anyone in my community that will work on carburetors. I have wrestled with rebuilding the carb (it is original to the matching numbers car) but until I saw the videos have been reluctant to try rebuilding. Part one and two are so well done that I am going to order a rebuild kit! Thanks Kyle!

Dude! Your video series was absolutely perfect! Thank you much man! I was pretty intimidated being this was my first carb I've ever rebuilt. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but, I've never tackled a full size carb before. But this video was super helpful man! You gave my the confidence to just go for it and I'm glad I did cause looking back, it wasn't even that hard. Anyway, top notch video! Thanks again bud!!👍👍🍻

oh that's genius to do the plunger in the top portion first. I set it down in the bottom portion then fed it through carefully. duh! I rebuilt an AFB from a 58 DeSoto with a 350 mopar motor. Very easy carbs to rebuild. Thing fired right up afterward. Will need minimal tuning. Great vid series!

The new accelerator pump spring is smaller on one end. It goes into the bottom of the well. The bigger end attaches to the pump. You can use a credit card for electric choke adjustment. Place credit card against choke horn and adjust electric choke so choke butter fly just touches credit card and then tighten down 3 phillip screws hold downs.

Great tip about reversing the jets to fall into place perfectly.

Thank you very much for the videos. They are very useful and easy to follow. I was able to rebuild my carb and fix my issue thanks to your videos. Thank you.

Also a set of dental picks are great for rebuilding carbs with small parts.

Epic Video! Headed out to the garage now to do the deed. Thanks!

[ElenoAlvarado]

Thank You very much. Very informative and detailed instructions. learned a lot.

Thanks for the walk through! I hope this does the trick for my 4.3l merc cruiser. It was bogging down under load. Seemed like the floats were way off from where they should have been when putting it all back together, so hopefully that was the problem (everything else seemed to be in good shape).

Good video to follow. My Carb is a manual choke and everything was exactly the same. Just forward through that part. Thanks for the help.

[ryanbatch]
