Some of you might recall I was rebuilding the original carb for my 259 Daytona. It now sits all shiny and clean on my bench waiting for warmer weather before I install it. I can see why the prev. owner said it ran and drove like crap - there no check balls in any of the appropriate locations, the choke cover was rotated about 60 degrees "lean" of the alignment mark, and the accelerator pump shaft was snapped inside the bore. (How does that happen?)
Some questions run thru my head since I have had some time to reminise about the rebuild:
1. The new accelerator pump is slightly smaller in diameter than the old one. The old one was tight in the bore and hard as rock. The new one very supple but is slightly loose in the bore - is that normal? Does the material (leather?) expand once it is in use?
2. Could someone please send pics of each side of an installed '63 2bbl carb (or attach them to this thread)? I would sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks
