Is there anyplace that will rebuild my carb if I send it to them or send me a rebuilt carb for my core?
You can get a Holley rebuild kit for that (I think) and have it done locally. I know a guy, etc...
call me.
rich
Will do, thanks.:D
FWIW, it's not difficult to rebuild it yourself. The stock carb is very simple. There are less than a dozen parts.
I've been trying to find a Holley rebuild kit but everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. I could do it myself (with a kit) but the float has pin holes and I'm afraid if I solder it the extra weight would affect the fuction. Does the kit come with a new float? It's one of those things I don't mind paying someone to do just to know it's done right.:)
The float in the stock Holley 1920 carb is solid. There is no float in the replacement kit as it never needs replacing.
What model carb do you have? 1bbl or 2bbl? got pics?
It's a 1 barrel with a brass float. The pin holes are at the top by the pivot. As far as I can tell The float, one "O" ring and the bowl gasket is bad otherwise it still pumps when you hit the throttle lever.
Here is your kit source info...from Binford:

Well I think I really scored here! I found a site as dedicated to old carbutetors and sundry car parts as we are dedicated to M715s! In an e-mail exchange with their Grand Poobah, I gave him all the numbers off my M715 carburetor and he said he found the exact kit for it, their CK537, which he even has in stock. It ain't cheap, but not too bad. $41.71 plus shipping. Here's a link to it:
http://www.partschoice.com/carbs/kits/CK537.htm
He said he'll put up a pic for it soon.
He invited us to link to him too. There's the rebuild kit link above and their main link is: http://www.carburetor.ca
Heres a pic of the kit:

And you can get the Jeep factory kit from www.memphisequipment.com as this member states:
Memphis Equipment has them(OE Jeep/Kaiser kits).Jeep part # is 944428 for $ 28.36 of course I picked it up personally so shipping will be more.
Thank you Brute and Binford, I'm on it! By the way Brute, whats the deal with your boys lettin' Ahman Greene get away? Can't a Husker get some luv?:offtopic:
Apparently, he didn't get enough love! :yourfired:
Money....all about money....he has been my sons favorite Packer for years.
So, Shooter, did you have any luck with that Canadian link? The guy simply quit responding to me. :dunno:
Apparently the correct rebuild kit for our Holley 1920 1-bbl is the CK537, but it's spendy at more than $50. And I wasn't eager enough to fork that over for a kit that "should work."
The CK174 is a kit for another very similar carb Saxon came up with. It was much, much cheaper, and appeared to be exactly the same. The guy thought perhaps the difference was in the needle and seat. He was going to get one in and check, but never got back to me and has ignored five attempts to contact him, each months apart.
All we need is a guinea pig with $50+ to risk! You game?! ;)
Basically what I did was walk in to Napa and ask if they had a kit. After the puzzled look and a little explaining we looked at some large books. Before long I was behind the counter with four or five books and a note pad. By the time I walked out I had found a lot of what I needed but nowhere neer a kit. It should arrive next Wednesday. I will say at least the guy behind the counter was nice enough to get out of the way end just let me have at it. Cudos, to Napa!:)
On a side note, it did give me a chance to get over to Rich's place (Compexp) for about two hours of jaw-jackin' on a nice day out in the yard.
Must have been Scott down at Napa - big guy with a flat top?
Still have that beer in the fridge for your return trip. :D
O.K., screw Napa! I just got back from there and boy do I feel violated. The guy says that half the parts I ordered are discontinued and the only thing he could get me was the $3.00 float bowl gasket that also now cost $6.00 "becuase he had to order it". So once again screw Napa and yes I will be the Guinea pig:(
P.S. Sorry Rich, I was runnin late and havin' a bad day. We'll have that beer another day.:oops:
Well, then go to that website and order up CK537. If it doesn't fit, then I'll bet Doc Rusty (the boss guy) will make it right for you, since he assured me that's the right kit based on three different numbers off three different Holly 1920 carbs off three different M715s.
Such a high price for such a simple, simple rebuild kit!
Let us know, Shooter!
Oh, and tell him Tim Taylor from the M715 Zone sent you.
Hold off a day or two on ordering that kit if you can, Shooter. I e-mailed the guy once more to see if he has compared the cheaper kit yet. I'll let you know if he responds.
Memphis Equipment has the carb rebuild kits for the M715 Holley 1920 carb. Runs about $30 + shipping. For me, it's not worth messing around trying to find these parts when I can call memphis directly and they ship the next day.
Just my $0.02.
It was my understanding that this kit was not complete. Just what I've heard though. :dunno:
I know I got an old Jet kit (might have even been from them) that had a part or two that was not correct.
I got it from LT Associates on eBay. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4606173539
The Memphis is complete. If it is not complete, then please tell me what is missing?
I have rebuilt 2 of my carbs using the kit. All the parts in the kit are correct for the Holley 1920 carb. The kit has everything that needs to be replaced.
From my experience, if you need an esoteric part for the M715, the best source of the part is ABLinn, Archer Bros, Memphis, Saturn Surplus, Surplus city, and VPW (ordered by typical price for comparable parts). These vendors are experienced in military vehicles and know what fits and what doesn't and have pretty large stockpiles of NOS and replacement parts.
As most of you are aware (or will become aware of shortly), the local auto parts suppliers know little to nothing about repairing cars today, much less about trucks made 40 years ago that aren't on their computer systems.
You may have to wait a little bit to get the part via mail, but often that is less time spent than searching numerous catalogs at NAPA only to find that the parts are unavailable or don't fit.
Just my $0.02.
That might be the way to go. So is it complete or not?:confused:
The carb rebuild kit you get from Memphis is complete.
FYI, I have attached a picture of the "complete" carb kit from Memphis Equipment along with the receipt. It contains a few more parts than just the "gaskets". If this is "incomplete", please let me know what is missing.
If someone told me that a carburetor rebuild kit contained nothing more than a few gaskets, I would have asked for someone else to help me since they obviously didn't have a clue about what is required to rebuild a carb. :rolleyes:

Here is the kit that I got:
http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/4379/carbpartsyz9.jpg
Got it off eBay pretty cheap (like ~$10 to my door IIRC). It was pretty much all correct, except that the accelerator pump arm was wrong. Our carburetors need the one on the left. The kit came with the one on the right. NAPA was able to come up with the right one for me for about $12, but I didn't note the part number. I know, I know.....
:whip:
If you need it, I'll see if I can dig up the receipt and get it.
Holy cow, hope you don't end up having to spend $71 on a carb rebuild kit. That kinda money could almost buy you a 2 barrel intake. The 2 barrel Holley rebuild kits are much cheaper than that. Course, you'd have to pony up like $200 for a 2 barrel carb, but thats beside the point.
Anything missing from this kit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Milit...94566735QQrdZ1
Looks complete to me.
Kwai? What do you think?
Hey, what's that black thing at about 7 o'clock from the accelerator pump?
I'll stick the image here for convenience:
http://i1.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/95/8b/4cfc_1.JPG
Is that the little plastic cam thing that actuates the accelator pump? You know, the part that always breaks?!
Yeah, you mean the part that you dropped and broke? I think its one and the same, lol.
No, the part I dropped and broke was inside the carb. This piece looks like the one that sits on the outside near the back right-hand side (as it sits in the truck) that pushes in on the accelerator pump arm. Many have broken this part as well, though I have not.
Yet.
$30.00 sounds good to me, Surplus city it is. I kind of feel like a dog chasing his tail. It's a good thing the carb isn't the only area I'm working on, but so far it's been the most time consuming.:cool:
I know the feeling, Shooter! Oh boy....do I!
Just as I'd get a kit or part I needed, I'd discover (or break) another! :rolleyes:
The surplus city kit looks to be missing a few o-rings and wave-washers compared to the Jeep kit I got from Memphis. Notably missing is the rubber gasket for the idle screw. It is especially shy and didn't make it into my picture either. However, it is usually dryed out and should be replaced.
Other than that it looks like the kit includes the plastic bellcrank that others have asked for which is good if yours is broken.
That does look like the accelerator pump actuating arm. If that is in a kit, someone should buy a few thousand for later...
Great find. Also, AB stocks NOS kits.
I had mine rebuilt at National Carb here and the guy there said that he'd seen every carb ever built and had a kit for them. I brought a NOS kit with me just in case... good thing too cuz he'd never seen this carb before. :D BTW they did a great job, not just a rebuild but a complete overhaul and reconditioning.
