So there I was minding my own business rebuilding my carb in my garage.....a thermos of hot coffee beside me and Bruce Springsteen on the Radio, when all of a sudden I broke off the 2 bolts that hold the bufferfly valves on the shaft on the carb base. Anyone know where to find replacements? I'm headed to Napa at lunch, but I figured I'd ask here too....
All in all, carb rebuild is annoying and would be a lot easier if one took pictures of the beast before one dismantled it. I'm fairly certain that I have it back together correctly, but we'll see.

Re: Carb Rebuild Parts
if you are talking about the two small screws that go through the butterfly into the shaft they are purposely buggered up on the far side so they will not vibrate out and drop into the engine. thats probably why they brokecoltarms wrote:So there I was minding my own business rebuilding my carb in my garage.....a thermos of hot coffee beside me and Bruce Springsteen on the Radio, when all of a sudden I broke off the 2 bolts that hold the bufferfly valves on the shaft on the carb base.

you will probably have to drill them out and retap
i do not remove them when rebuilding carb.
Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.
I filed off the peened end of the screws but they were just stuck. Being Brass, it didn't take much to snap 'em. I was able to drill them out successfully and re-tap the holes. I'm going to use stainless screws as replacements as no one around had any brass ones. Should be fine.
By the way, there's something really good about working in the garage while listening to The Boss sing "Born in the USA." It's even better when I'm working on the Jeep.....and not the Japanese Tercel......

Yep...there is a reason they were brass and staked on the ends. Make sure it is the kind that can handle gasoline and heat also.xirdneh wrote:better use loc-tite

Fear not. I have a nice big jar of Loctite277 and some lock washers. Then, I'm going to deform the ends of the threads just to make sure. I'll have rebuilt this damn carb about 12 times by the time I get it back into the Tercel. Seems like I keep on forgetting stuff......
Should I soak the gaskets themselves in a light oil before assy?
