It looks like i'm definitely going to have to rebuild this carb before I use it, which is kind of a disappointment as I was hoping to slap it into the truck and rebuild the other one.
Will any old generic rebuild kit work? I'm looking at one from LCE performance that costs $75 and one from RockAuto that costs $35. Do you know if there is there a meaningful difference? What rebuild kit do all you master carb whisperers use?
Acceleration pump. Very easy to remove the 4 screws and pop out off. The rebuild kits come with a new diaphragm/piston and boot. The pump arm connected to the housing should move freely and I don't see any reason with lubricating that. No gas should contact it. The whole thing is driven open by a spring so that should be there as well.
I removed the screws already. The spring is there and the arm moves freely, but the diaphragm and piston assembly won't budge.
