Hi everyone!
I'm rebuilding a Carter 4327 to go on the '67
Imperial 440 I have in my 300L. Any carb experts out there?
In the FSM, it identifies that carb application as
a non-CAP, High Performance. A-OK with me. The carb has a choke
set-up that is not shown in the FSM - at least I don't think so. (the FSM
refers only to a "well type" choke - that's the kind that hides in the intake
manifold, right?) This choke is a disc, just a bit smaller than a snuff
tin, mounted on the carb right where the vacuum choke pull off would be.
It has the thermo-coil in the housing and also a piston that seems to act as the
vacuum choke pull-off.
The rebuild kit shows this choke set-up on the
diagram - still A-OK. One question is - what are the two electrical
terminals on the outside of this choke housing, disc looking thing for? Do
they need to be connected to anything for the choke to operate correctly?
Or, are they test leads for the mechanic to check choke operation?
Also, I am missing the choke connector rod (I might
find one in the basement) and I am not sure where it attaches. To the
slotted bracket or to the hole on the choke rod?
Lastly, I have no springs pulling on any of the
carb linkage (except throttle rod and throttle return). In trying to
figure out the operation of the primaries & secondaries, it seems that there
should be something pulling on something else.
Wow! Way too detailed - and yet way too
vague!! Is there a Carter doctor in the house? Or anyone
that has a rebuild book that can advise of the way chokes and springs
work?
I know this is a tough one!!!
Thanks,
Dan Richardson
