Dear all,
I got my carb malfunction after different testing with an other one of a friend of mine. By exchanging carb my boat was running perfectly well.


I get some pricing and shipping to france which is quit big at the end.
I have seen that there are some rebuild kit.

Is it hard to rebuild a carb?
Will it work as a new one or what is the difference between rebuilding a carb and get a new one at the end ?
Is there some instruction on process ?

regards
Serge

It is not hard to rebuild a Holley - in fact one of the easiest to work on.

Kit is low price compared to new carb - but a small chance it still will not function 100% when it is done.

I think the best course of action is to get the carb # from the inside of the air (intake) horn & email that to the Holley website so they can find the correct kit for you to buy.

There are plenty of instructions on the internet too.

Thanks for your reply. I get the part number of which kit to buy but could not find step by step instruction for my holley which is :

Holley #4160 marine carburetor for use with Ford 351

Cost me 680$ to get a new cab ship to France

The guys on this website are better step by step instructions than you would get from the manufacturer anyways. Get a kit and give it a try. If it doesn't work out you will only bee out 100 bucks or so and have a much more firm understanding of how and why your carburetor works.
