Carb and Welding


The evening started with a nice drizzle and power outage. Lights were out for about 30 minutes. After that we got to serious work.

We pulled the carb off and checked the float and float needle. It looked good, but we made some adjustments to the position to allow more gas into the bowl before the float cut it off. We were able to get the car running, but after we ran through the gas in the bowl, it wouldn’t refill. Same damn problem we’ve been having since the rebuild. I have no idea what’s wrong, but I’m done messing with this carb. I did find a used weber on the Celica forums for $30. I’ll need an adapter plate, filter and maybe linkage. But it’s Lemony!

We got the plates welded in after working on the carb and wrapped up right around 9pm. I did the welding. It’s not pretty, but it’s in there.
