Wanted: Carter Carb

[r.morrison]

Hi Gary....long time no talk. Anyway, if this is of any use to you for your carbureter "rebuild", your more than welcome to have it. I had it for a while and I don't know if it is for your carb. Maybe some of the guys can comment. I can mail it to you.
Good luck.....Robert

Gary, you will probably need to use a shop press to press the shaft out of the pulley. As for the price. Check eBay. There are a lot of the pumps listed there for very reasonable prices.

Parts list C15A-04 lists the Carter 387, followed by W1-518S, then W1-518SA all as first type carburetor. Then, as second type carburetor, the W1-589s is listed. The difference between first and second type is given as the second type is dustproof. Different parts packages were provided for servicing each of the carburetors.

Hey All

Robert: Are you freakin cereal? Heck ya I will gladly accept that manual, if you need my addy just PM me and I will send it.

Jordan: I think you are right on the money as nothing else is working right now.

Grant: Thank you for that info every tidbit helps.

Chris: I have 3 engines and not one carb so I have to buy one, I got lucky (I hope) and found one on Ebay for 40 bucks after shipping, they had an issue with the processing system so it has been expedited so hopefully it will be here soon and I will let you all know what kind of shape it is in.

I love this site and community, everyone here is willing to help and offer what parts they have. If I have not said it before you guys rock and Thank you for your help, info, and for those that served, your service.

Hi Gary: Just to clarify, the photo is NOT of a manual, but a package of assorted gaskets which Grant has clarified. (Thanks). If you decide to rebuild, send me your address and I'll mail then to you. I'll waive the $1.07 list price!!
I did check into rebuilding down this neck of the woods and I was quoted $430.00 to $440.00 for a Carter W1. I used this firm years ago and was very satisfied. Another option that occurred to me today was a firm I have used recently (C8A return brake spring). They are located in Missouri USA and attached is a copy of their carb list. Your call, but you've had a lot of good input. Good luck......Robert

PS: WTH is "freakin cereal" ?????

Hey Robert

Sorry, the first pic looked like a manual so I got confused lol. And "freakin cereal" is my grandchildrens way of saying serious lol ie: are you friggin serious. When I thought that was a manual I got a little excited and put that in instead of the proper spelling lmao...sorry.
