Carter BBD Rebuild
ejw4x4:
Are there any tricks or tips to ease the process of rebuilding the Carter BBD Carbs? I'm rebuilding my #8383 Carb and i'm completely new to rebuilding a carb.
Thanx
EJW

When you get the rebuild kit there is an inst. book in there. It helped me out a lot and the carb break down in the Eaglepedia was good to have on hand too. Oh yea, watch all the little parts too. They like to wander off. This was my first rebuild too so don't let any thing discourage you, it can be done by us first timers. Just watch all your parts and how they go together. Malcolm ;D

And, really clean stuff well!

The very first carb I ever rebuilt was a BBD...
Wasn't too bad... Like Malcolm said... The instructions in the kit are very helpful...
The TSM helped out also...
The advise I would give: Take a few pics of the carb before you disassemble it...
It'll really help figuring out which direction all the little linkages go when you go to
put it back together...
Oh!! And check for wear in the throttle shaft bushings!!
If the bushings in the main shaft that runs thru the base of the carb have a lot of
play in them, it will mean that you'll have a vacuum leak...
Even after a rebuild!
That's been my biggest problem with these carbs... finding shafts that aren't worn,
and finding bases that have good bushings...
IowaEagle:
Thanks for the tips Mac!
