Some tips if I may...on slotted fixings use the widest screwdriver you can, this means you are driving the screw from the very edges, increasing leverage reducing the risk of damage, consider using a small spot of mild thread lock on throttle butterfly screws... the thought of those vibrating loose and going through the engine doesn't bear thinking about, and get a magnetic parts tray, you'll never lose steel parts again. Nice video!
When working on jets in carbs, it is better to always use hollow ground, or cabinet makers parallel drivers rather than wedge shape standard flat head drivers. They risk damaging the jet slot and/or surrounding threads. Better yet, genuine service tools come up for sale every now and then.
Excellent video, Matt! I always replace the float pin as otherwise the float can sometimes stick. While I dont have a sonic cleaner, I also always gently wire brush the inside of float chamber cover ,where the gasket sits. I also do the same to the top of the float bowl gasket area. I find helps to stop the float bowl gasket from leaking.
Great to hear from you again. Love to watch every new adventure. At 71 I'm not as active in building as much as I once did. God Bless and stay safe my Friend.
Good stuff. My sonic bath (same design but different badge) doesn't froth that much!!!!! Ain't that buzzin' annoying after a while? Glad you edited out the sound. I hopefully get my 'new' '44 GPW on the road at end of month!!!!!
Thanks Tom, I really appreciate that. This video took a lot of editing and choosing music takes hours, also there is a copyright claim on the video because of the music even though I checked it was creative commons so I probably won't get anything for it, so I appreciate that you enjoyed it!
Great video Matt and very relaxing music, completely zen now. How do we know this was you in the video and not some kind of Carter expert? :P @Charlie, congrats with this fresh new old carb. 👍
FREE?….I recently paid $268 US dollars for that job on my Rochester 2SE! (which is the stock carb on a 1980 CJ5 w/Hurricane/ Iron Duke) Fun to watch video btw!🙂
That carb was a mess! I don't see how he spent a hundred dollars and it is so dirty on the inside. He better look to his gas tank & filter & lines. I bet that he'll find the culprit there.
Thanks for all your carb videos, Matt. I viewed them for my first attempted rebuild. I say "attempted" because I'm not getting any fuel to the carb when I push on the gas peddle or throttle at the carb. Any ideas where I should look for trouble? Thanks, again.
Brilliant video - thank you for sharing. Is this a business you do? I could use some help with my Carter carb but there is no-where on the island that could help.

Oh carbs are fun to work on as long as you don’t end up with spare parts. Good job 👍
Especialy if you're a young kid with a moped 🙂
A proper sonic bath, you mean the Mrs wouldn't let you use the dishwasher? 😂
Okay, the coolest music to use while watching a rebuild video!

L134 Therapy… just finished a drive from the West Coast of Canada to the East Coast and I needed this.
glad to be of service!
Those NOS gasket kits must be very rare. And, expensive.
Great job. Great video. Well done.👍
Thanks a lot!
Great job. Somebody certainly buggered up the brass slotted fittings. No doubt years earlier. Great fix.
Good stuff.

I added a cleaning and ant corrosion solution, I hate the buzzing it goes right through your brain! good luck on the new jeep!
As A Florida man, very nice.
I just love that original yellowish anodised finish! Unfortunately that’s gone on my carb due to shot blasting..
Outstanding video, Matt! Would expect nothing less, of course.

@@Greendot319 You really knocked the music selection out of the park! Clearly this video was a lot of work...and it shows!
Carburetor rebuild as an art form, how novel!
Nice film, well made, enjoyed that,! 👍
That was AWESOME!!!
Superb video, a class act. Well done! And the music is called.......?
Love the music so cool
Great job and great video.
Thanks for the visit
Great video Matt and very relaxing music, completely zen now. How do we know this was you in the video and not some kind of Carter expert? :P @Charlie, congrats with this fresh new old carb. 👍
Amazing !! Cheers !
A man of few words..
Please make a walk-around video of willys jeep and how to attach the soft-top of the jeep.
The brass needle valve has to be clear when you hold it through the light if plug you use a needle pin to clear old sluch

Its free when you can do it!

I’ve never seen a carb that small with so much going on.
great hey!
👍👍👍
Matt, do you know if this anodised coating can be re-applied? Were the carb bodies also varnished after anodising? Best regards, Gert-Jan
Hi Gert-jan, I think the anodised finished is a post war finish, I don't think the wartime carbs had it, so no need to worry there!
Does anyone know of a willys mb or ma for sale cash waiting
Brilliant video - thank you for sharing. Is this a business you do? I could use some help with my Carter carb but there is no-where on the island that could help.
CJ post war carb, correct?
Yup with correct base
