Is this thermoquad salvagable/rebuildable????

I found this 6319 which is the correct one for my 73 340.

Here is what it looks like coming out of salvage.




I have a new center section, complete rebuild kit, new floats. The brass items cleaned up nicely, i.e., idle mixture screws, primary and secondary metering rods/jets. Metering pistons and various springs are in good order. However, as you can see there was a lot of varnish, carbon, rust, and oxidation on this one. I have been able to get all of these deposits off but the oxidation and rust did leave the venturis and the butterflys a bit rough.

Will this be an issue? Should I continue on rebuilding????

From the pics I'd say sure. I have fixed worse.

Awesome, I was hoping someone would say they have fixed worse!!!

Since you have a new center section, just make sure everything else moves freely. The throttle shafts must be leak free, zero play. Clean it up real good. Clean and clear the air bleeds and the fuel passages well and it should run nice.

Let's check out the post cleaning pics idrive

I will post some as soon as I get a bit further along. One set back, need a new Air Valve spring. Hopefully I can find one.

I'm about to scrap one one worse than that - has fuzzy corrosion build-up all over and not very free for movement. Not sure if the aluminium will clean up at all.

What model is it?
