'62 2000 4 cylinder carb tips

Carls70 · Mar 14, 2018

Hello all,

I am going through the carb on a 1962 2000 4 cyl Ford. This is my first time in a Marvel updraft carb. Anyone have any suggestions, tips, warnings for me?

Have a kit & float on order from Steiner's.

It was last gone through about 12 years ago and recently has begun to seep fuel externally. This week it let a load of fuel into the throat and left a puddle on the ground...

I think it is an FSX 765, having trouble remembering.

Thanks! Carl[/list][/i]

They are very simple to work on. Just clean them out good with a carb cleaner, use a thin wire to clean out any jets or openings,
make sure the needle and float are set right (usually about 1/4" from the cover when held upside down, use the gaskets, make sure
that throttle body has no leaks for air to get in, and then reinstall.

Sure, if you are going to clean the jets, just use a very thin copper wire to not damage the jets.
