[1967coronet]

Guy bought this at a swap meet for $20.00
He had it for a few months , wanted me to put a kit in.
Before I opened it up I told him it prob wasn't going to be good.

And your comment/question is ???? Other than it's a Carter AFB carb with velocity weighted secondary air valves. The carb's ID # is stamped onto the front of the LEFT FRONT mounting flange ear.....like for example: 4294S. The date code would be ahead of the model #: example: F6. Replacement parts are readily available on line. Repair it......

Bob, sometimes I feel my IQ goes up a few points just reading your posts.
I do thank you for pointing that out capt.
The swap meet $20.00 carb was just funny to me. Sometimes you do get what you pay for....

Same thing I was thinking. What the heck . More parts for the carb drawer.

Some times things are better off gone than trying to do anything with it. I know you dump it today and tomorrow your looking for it. Doesn't look like too many salvagible parts there.

Choke plate seems OK

When I buy one like that it is for $3 and yes the choke blade or a lever is useable. You'll never be able to clean those internal ports on that puppy.

I've had several (weber) marine carbs that weren't even that bad, most of the internals are forgiving, but I couldn't guarantee the accelerator pump bore would still work due to corrosion.

You have a lot of small chambers in the venturi that can be clogged and not cleanable. I have seen carbs with that junk in fuel chamber and if you flushed through the fuel jets no liquid would make it to the venturi chambers even with venturi removed.

At this point I would just chalk it up as a donation to whoever sold it to you.
