Fantastic photo. The carb looks in really good shape, the photos on this forum are amazing useful sometimes. Nice to see part of the original fuel pipe complete with fitting. I like the details on these early carbs like the tiny spring clips on the choke mechanism and adjustable accelerator pump ratio lever. (Spares of those clips are in some rebuild kits.) American manufacturing in its prime!

Here is the refurbished carburetor. It seems to be very closed to the original. He doesn't change many parts...

He has probably ultrasonically cleaned it. It definitely looks cleaner. One important thing is the removal of old crud from inside the float bowls which we can't see, the accelerator pump leather seal which will have dried up and been oiled or replaced, and other minor bits. Keep it nice and clean in a dust free bag or similar until it is ready to go on.

hi guys,

Do you know the float adjustment of a carter afb 4131s ? The mechanic ask me the value of the gauge on this diagram.
Thank you very much in advance for your help !
