The carbs were pretty crusty. Since there had been a lot of dirt dobber nests around the carbs and it looked like squirrels had hidden nuts in the air cleaners, I decided to take the carbs (Rochester H) off and rebuild them. I am still in the rebuilding phase on the first one. I have the kit and I'm ready to go, it seems like other things keep coming up here and there. |

One of the two Rochester "H" carbs. |
A little closer look. |
A different view. |
Carb is now open! |
The half with the bowls that the floats fit into. You can also see the venturi cluster in the middle. |
The other side with the floats. |
This is what happens when old gas is left sitting in the carb. |

A better look at the floats. |
Various carb innards. |
Not clean. |

Cleaned carb halves and parts that also went into the dip. Next order of business is rebuilding this one and then heading onto the other carb. |
