1953 M38A1 carbureter rebuild kit

[Casey B]

Here is a pic of the missing piece from the car rebuild kit i got the other day from way down Texas way. You can see the old parts and new replacements except the one that did not come with the kit so beware you might not get it either as they have yet to respond to an email and or phone call...? So it probably should be called a partial rebuild kit.

Mid west I guess

I had a look in the carb/fuel pump box, and no joy there. Besides, I have heard tale that the original rubber bits do not like todays ethanol blends of gasoline, so you are better off with new production if you can get it. Seems to me I have read others saying they were missing those same pieces from their carb kits from other dealers, while raving about the quality and completeness of John's.

Yes I saw right away the peice that is missing and apparently no to be found in this rebuild kit so avoid the kit from Rapco out of Texas as it does not comtian the needed Metering rod diaphram. Thanks for the pick Trooper!

Me well it's par for the course...Sort of like a vending machine... we always put more money in after it gives us nothing the first time don't we...? Come admit it you have done this at least once! LOL!!!! Jeeps gotta love em ...
