First, I had troubles trying to log on here and tried to message an email message, I don't think it went through, if it did, sorry about the repeat.

I have a NON GMC MOTORHOME carborator that I replaced.
The carborator was contaminated with rust dust from the mechanical fuel pump..... and I was told it was not repairable. ( we cut the mechanical fuel pump open and found the rust. Any filter before the Mpump were clean.

I am offering it for parts only, I do not consider it a working Carb but it is more or less, complete.

I don't want anything for it, just cost of shipping.

If no interest it will be recycled.

Thanks folks.

If you are sending email, you don't see your message until someone responds.
About your Carb...you can do anything(ie fix) if you throw enough money at
it...on the other hand maybe it would be a waste since it's a non GMC.
Why don't you join us and give us a name and location...it is handy info in
so many ways!

Actually, I have been here for many years.
I had to start a different acct to get back on, I recently reloaded my computers op system and lost the cookies. I forgot the password and this system does not seem to respond when you hit the "forgot password" link. I was told the system is broken and that must be part of it.

I have been struggling with the power loss problem on the GMC and I just got back from one of a couple test runs and the results have been good running off of the gas can. NO MORE POWER LOSS.

Now I had the name of a gentleman that lives south of Chicago (I think) but all that is in the account I can't get into. If anyone recognises me or knows him, I would appreciate any info as it appears I have to drop the tanks.

Thanks all.

If you can hang on to it a week or so I'll grab it for parts when I visit Waukegan. I get there every week or so Even if the body is corroded, I may be able to salvage some hardware and brackets etc.

That's fine, I am slow at recycling so it will be around for awhile.

I can bring it out if you like, I don't think you are that far away considering all that I've been through with the GMC's problem, been working on this a very long time.
