Looking for a used carb in decent condition with lower miles preferably. I decided to try to "rebuild" mine and failed miserably.
If anyone has a decent deal let me know!

Re: WTB: Good used condition carburetor
To make a long story short, I attempted to repair my existing carb because of some hesitation and bogging issues I've been having. Bought a repair kit and spent almost all day working on it, I thought I did everything properly and by the FSM but it turned out worse after putting it all back together. After all of that I don't really feel like attempting to get this one to work again. It has 227k miles anyways so I'd rather put one on that's lower mileage.
Let me know a total for one shipped and I can PayPal you funds today. USPS or FedEx shipping works for me. This is much appreciated.
Do you know the mileage on either of them or if they were running? I'll take whichever one is in better shape.Gottolovem wrote:I have 2 complete carbs got them from pick&pull on half price day i think i payed 25.00 each you can have one at that price plus freight.

Re: WTB: Good used condition carburetor
I do not know the miles but i have installed both on one of my cars to see if i could improve fuel economy but I got the same mileage both carbs ran fine.
When i need a carb rebuild i send it to a guy in long beach ca that specializes in Toyota carbs only i think he charged me 200.00 plus freight. that car is the one that has passed smog every year sense.
I HATE PAYPAL lets do the good old boy method PM me with address and when you get it you send me cash wrapped up in some sheets of paper so know one knows whats inside. We are not talking retirement money here i'll take the chance just to not deal with PAYPAL.

i hate paypal too. they charge me crazy fees every time i use them, whether money is coming or going, and their canadian/us exchange rates are awful. i'm all about well-concealed cash, too.
