With only a few days remaining until I need to be southbound to Gainesville, I sat down on the RV at my in-laws house and started taking the carb apart. Now, you need to understand that I’ve never rebuilt a carb before in my life, so I don’t have the slightest idea what I’m doing.
The diaphragm in the accelerator pump was definitely in need of replacement
This other diaphragm also was quite leaky.
And the third diaphragm on the carb was also torn in a couple places. This is the little vacuum operated device that is supposed to prevent flooding when the choke is on all the way.
After cleaning things up a bit and putting in the new bits, I had a hopefully rebuilt carb to put back on when I get home!
In the meantime, I also opened up the vacuum pots for the boost/vacuum advance and repaired them. This becomes important later.
