mechanic is saying that he needs to remove carbs to investigate/fix backfire issue (bad). He believes carb(s) are dumping fuel which is cause of the problem- maybe float stuck or something? There is a heavy fuel smell after running the car...heavy! How many labor hours should I expect for removal, tear down and rebuild of carbs?

So I see you got yourself a car. Sure isn't white. Anyway, duel carbs may take awhile to adjust. Sounds like the PO owner has given you some good gouge, so try to use it. Can you describe when it pops? Is it on decel or during light rpm use? Good luck!
I just re-read the PO comments, if its on decel I would look to the exhaust. Probably just bad copper rings between heads and heat exchangers. Not a difficult or expensive job to rule that out. |
