Calling Kurt @cruiseroutfit for the rebuild kit/gasket/diaphragm.

Thinking about getting some carb dip at NAPA and then trying it myself!

@Pin_Head made some sweet videos for us: Aisan Carb Rebuilding Videos - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/aisan-carb-rebuilding-videos.379609/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/user/PinHead0001/videos

Consider loosening/removing the EGR cooler bolts (#5 and #10) and that should put enough slop in the system to let the J pipe drop down. You might warm the area of the stuck nut with a propane torch and reapply WD-40, too. In this case, you're not trying to heat up the EGR cooler to expand it away from the screw threads, you're just trying to promote the penetrant getting inside where it can do some good.

Thanks again for that nugget Steve, that did the trick!

Where is EGR gasket?

Not here!

Not here either...

Cleaning up some buggered threads. This was a fun reach in there to turn the die:

Now there is EGR gasket:

Getting an EGR gasket in there did not get rid of the noise.

After setting valve lash, playing with timing and trying to adjust the carb, my future holds a carb rebuild.

The 40 sat from '12 to '16 during the painting process, and then I had not driven her much since getting her home from paint b/c she has not been running well. So basically from '12 to '21 she has not driven much.

Carb is coming out...

Dude, where's my car(b)?

These are a real pain to get off w/ that giant brake booster in the way!

Good news - intake is not cracked:

Oh yeah I bet is has some funk to it.

Not the good kind of Funk:

Dropped off the carb yesterday for rebuild - looks like a 30 Aug, 1977 build date:

Anyone ever open up their fuel pump to clean out funk?

After starting a new thread on this, in which Lionel Ritchie showed up, I decided to open up the fuel pump: Rebuild 2F Fuel Pump? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rebuild-2f-fuel-pump.1249160/

The verdict was that the pump was functional, so I buttoned it up and plan on running it.

@mcguirejohnson opened up the carb and confirmed that the carb did indeed need to be rebuilt:

I got the carb back, looking much cleaner:

New gaskets:

And throw the carb on:

 

[PabloCruise]

As you can see, I pulled the master cylinder to make it easier to bolt the carb back on.

So I thought I might as well go through the MC to see if there was any old funk in there:

This picture represents new oil & filter, new plugs, wires, cap & rotor plus new fuel filter and new rubber fuel lines:

Last pic for the night - a collection of old, brittle fuel and vacuum lines that I replaced:
