Aisan Carburetors?

russkiypenguin1 · Post by **russkiypenguin1** » Sat Nov 20, 2004 10:55 am

I found an online reseller at <a href='http://www.nationalcarburetors.com/cat-toyotacar.html' target='_blank'>http://www.nationalcarburetors.com/cat- ... ar.html</a> that sells the carbs with various warranty lengths, but it's the same part apparently. Does anyone have any experience with the Aisan parts?

It looks like the NI 43171 is the correct carb for my application. It's at the very bottom.

Maybe I'll just have to do the rebuild myself and bite the bullet.

I'd say grab a rebuild kit. If you aren't sure it's the right carb then you'll end up paying more for it and then maybe even having to return it to the company and wait forever to get the correct part. If it isn't broken, rebuild it

Any preferance on where to get the rebuild kit? Oreilly's and Napa both stock the kits. Would you replace the float while you're in there?

Definitely replace the float and go with a recognizable brand?

Mostly just keep everything clean...get the parts in the right order...and tight...without warping anything...be exact about it.

So are you saying that O'reilly's and NAPA aren't any good or that either would be fine? Sorry to be a pain about this.

I really don't know....maybe by the more expensive kit? Either kit will be made by some company...not O'reilly's or NAPA...could ask somebody who rebuilds them.

Ask a full timer at the counter if anyone has has a problem with matching the parts.

My experience has been that the kits are fairly reliable and any issues usually involve the human component.

I had very good luck with NAPA parts. They seem to provide only good quality product lines in my experience.

I've had good luck with NAPA also. Action Distributing Inc, and Parts Plus dealers are pretty good too. I'd avoid cut rate auto parts or any store that has cheap in their name, it means cheap parts. I got my rebuild kit and it actually had gaskets for about 7 different variations of the tercel carb. It was kinda confusing trying to figure out if I got all the right parts in though.

I thought that the jap cars, had stricter emissions, so wouldn't the carbs be different, or would there just be more crap attached to it?

OK, so NAPA it is! I hoped everyone thought that way, but I didn't want to expose my preference in the post. In general the NAPA guys really have their stuff together. And $10 more is nothing for a rebuild kit. I guess I know what I'm doing next weekend!
