Hi guys, I live in Vancouver BC (Canada) and I would like to pick up a rebuild kit for my autolite 1100, can anybody make a suggestion as to where to get one?

Does the kit come with the plastic rod for the accelerator pump by any chance?
Thanks!

i think the kit comes with the plastic...but with some searching, you can get a brass one and add it on...or in..or whatever
no it did not, the part is a walker kit part #15253A kinda like a universal kit w/ 2 accelerator pumps for an auta and misc stuff i did nit use .Note be sure and check the accelerator pump cover to make sure its relatively flat , i think i have 5 or 6 of these baby carbs and ir seems like all if them need to have this pump cover straightened ,use something flat and hard and a few light whacks w/ a hammer this will ensure a good gasket seal
good luck
good luck

The plastic rod on the right side of any auto transmission 1100 you´re referring to has nothing to do with a accelerator pump, although it employs the very same rubber diaphragm and is constructed the same way.
The acc. pump actually is located on the left/ driver side of the carb, the assembly on the other side is a hydraulic antistall dashpot (hence found on auto tranny carbs only), operated by the pump lever via the dashpod rod.
To straighten out the dashpot and acc. pump covers I suggest getting a thick piece of window glass (flatness guaranteed) and some fine sand paper rather than hammering on the delicate pot metal.
If it is warped too far, heat it up carefully and tap it lightly with a small hammer. This stuff bends and breaks very easily.
Unfortunately, the most fragile and important pieces are NOT included in carb renew kits. The plastic dashpod lever is just one example, but it can be made from scratch with a couple of files, a drill and enough time.
