Motorcraft 2150 Rebuild in 3 Minutes

Please note not all 2150s are made equally. Different eras have different intricacies. Like variable high speed air bleeds vs not. Or the vacuum operated dual power valve vs an internal single power valve. This was also the first carb I ever rebuilt, so view this with some caution. Although I followed the instructions, maybe I still did something wrong! The carb being rebuilt in this video is a 1.21 Venturi late 80s AMC Motorcraft 2150. This was to upsize from my stock Ford Fairmont 1.08 Venturi. So this video might not be as helpful to Ford Fairmont owners as it would be to a Wagoneer owner.

Thank you for the credit. I had no idea that Jeep used Motorcraft carbs too but I'm glad to see everything else seems to be going smooth. Someone else probably told you but you really need to put some Loctite or JBWeld on the threads of those throttle blade screws. They are obviously not the kind of fasteners you want backing out. Can't wait to see how it runs!

I’m front Wichita as well, this was helpful on my 82 f-150! Thanks a lot.

Have a question. Is it possible to change the venturi to a larger one? Example like going from a 1.02 to a 1.08.

Working on 2150 this weekend belongs to a 351 mod. Theres something therapeutic with taring down and rebuilding a carb. Right on six great video keep em coming!

Nice work! I liked the editing style and the music too! The concepts shown on this carb apply to most, great video to send to someone who wants to know how a carb works.

Nice job bud. I admire people who can do this job. I am too afraid to attempt a carb rebuild! Let's see it running next time!

Thank you for the video. Wish you would have shown a bit more details for us that are clueless and learning.

An electric toothbrush works well for cleaning small or hard-to-access parts.

Excellent quick video ! Just went thru a 2150 on a 78 f150 351m and sadly the Venturi tube on one side was split, had a missing check ball weight and no clip for attaching the needle. Since I can’t find the Venturi assembly, I broke down & ordered one of those cheapo knockoff 2150’s off of Amazon just to see if they were any good. Awaiting it to arrive as I type.

Nice job! Your editing style is a lot like mine, fast moving and to the point. Great to see a younger guy not afraid of a carburetor. HAHA!

[jorgevazquez]

Which carburator kit did you use? your carburator is exactly the same as mine...

I think this is the same carb on my 85 ranger 2.8 v6?
