IF IT'S BEEN LIKE FOREVER,

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO REBUILD THE CARB

.....OR BUY ONE ALREADY REBUILT

LOOK FOR VACUUM LEAKS AS WELL.

YOU MAY HAVE AN ACCELERATOR PUMP PROBLEM OR NEED SOME ADJUSTING

LOOK FOR THE LEAKS 1ST

LET ME KNOW, IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO SPEND SOME $$$, LIKE $50 OR MORE, I MAY CAN SHOW YOU HOW GET MORE FOR YOUR $$$ GETTING YOUR AUTO PARTS
