Carburetor Rebuild
Inside the Autolite 2100
This is a view looking down the carburetor. The fuel bowl is fully
visible because I removed the float. I bought a carburetor rebuild
kit from a local Pepboys so I could replace all the wear and tear
parts like the accelerator pump and the economizer valve.
Removed Carburetor Parts
The economizer valve, accelerator pump, its return spring, its inlet
check valve, fuel float, needle, and the pump cover is shown in this
photo. The gaskets are for the economizer valve, which had developed
a small leak. The accelerator pump was OK, but it was stiff from wear.
The float and the needle were in very good condition.
Autolite 2100, the Other Side
This is what the intake manifold sees at full throttle. (My hand is
holding the throttle wide-open) This was a good time to make fine
adjustments to the lever throws and needles - no guesswork since the
rebuild kit came with a very thorough instruction sheet. Of course,
final adjustments were made after the carb was running on the car.
