Well, there is a definite problem with the air cleaner as well as the fuel pump Seems to run ok, but doesn't seem to be pumping fuel very well. Need to look at that.

After tightening up the nuts on the carb mount studs, there is no leaking and it seems ok. Once it's warmed up it will fire right up on the first crank. I put these videos together.

No fuel pump rebuild kits available (metal top), but there are fuel pumps available for $60, so ordered one as it needs 10 day lead time. That is definitely a part I want to refresh.



I did find the model number of my Carter YF carb, it's a 964S which was shipped on 216s. The late model 235 I'm told shipped with a Carter YF 3211 which has an automatic choke and uses a heat stove from the exhaust to the carb.

Anyone familiar with those carbs?
