I've had good luck with Sundem Carburetor in south Minneapolis, Bobby. They won't replate 'em, but for a hundred bucks or so you'll be good to go.

I can't believe that Sundem is still in business. My Dad used them back in the 50's till the 70's for carb rebuilding for his service station. They use to be on Cedar Ave. I look them up. they were great back then. Thanks, Bobby

They rebuild and sell kits and parts.



All you really need is a new diaphragm. Take it apart, clean in carb-cleaner and put the new diaphragm in.

Hey Josh,

A new diaphragm ? Sounds like a birth control thing to me.:eek: I'm talking about the carb, not the vacuum advance. Maybe you mean the accelerator pump leather. If I do it myself, I will replace all gaskets and seals, as the old ones are dried up and some distorted. Cleaning ports to recommended Drill size is important too. Setting the linkage travel, climate control and mixing valve adjustment are all after it is on the car, but the float to 1/2 inch with the proper gauge is probably the most important setting for this small carb when rebuilding. I just thought it would be nice to have someone else breath the stinky fumes and absorb the cleaners into the liver for this one and treat myself to just putting a new carb back on without all the mess. Thanks for all the support guys. I will call these guys as well.
