Okay, I'm on my 2nd Carter YF. This one is not as bad as the last one, but still has problems. Accel. pump is bad, run's too lean, misfires at 1100 rpm, and won't idle worth %$#@ untill the car has been warm for at least 10 min. of driving. The last one misfired worse, but idled fine when stone cold. I've adjusted everthing as much as I can and it's time to try something else.
The local parts store got it from Autoline in Canada as they said that brand is better than Tomco (had really bad luck with that brand of rebuilt 1100 a few years back) It cost me about $105 + core. I've heard that holley rebuilds both 1100's as well as Carters- is the extra cost worth it? I'd like to just bypass all this trouble I'm having with the one barrel setup and get a 2-v head and 2bbl carb, but that takes time and moola I don't have at the moment. This is my daily driver and I've been dealing with this hassle for 2 months - I need to fix it- NOW! Any other brands I should consider?
Thanks,
Sedanman
