| Just got my Patrol and it hasn't run regularly for a couple of years. It starts and idles good. But has some fits pulling away from a dead stop. I adjusted the carb a little......sprayed it down with cleaner inside and out....What's the difficulty rating on tearing off my carb and cleaning it and putting it back together. i know a guy who will do it for a 100 bucks or a little more...what makes the most sense. Oh yeah....damn the engine gets hot!!???!!! |

| Rochester single barrel still? It's really easy to open up and put back together. Problem is your accelerator pump not pumping. I put a new one in mine some time back but the pump bore was too worn to fix problem. so I replaced it with a reman unit for about a hundred bucks. luck of the draw, it leaked like a sieve. finally I put a weber on it. Pull the carb apart yourself, the $30 kit comes with instructions. if you want to spend $100, buy a remanufactured carb. As a Patrol owner, you are not allowed to spend money on someone elses labor, but you can give them beer! Good luck! |

Yeah I should have mentioned that the previous owner put a holley pump in it..........funny thing though, maybe this is common, maybe not, but when I turn the key to ignition the pump comes on and hums like crazy. Is that normal? Other than that I appreciate the info and the advice. Andy

yes the humming like crazy is normal for a electric pump all the fuel drains back into the tank after sitting for a bit might look into a rochester monojet by holley it's much better and fits like stock and still only 139.00 rebuilt from autozone they also make a one way valve for the fuel line attaches at the tank to prevent back flow works like a charm |
