Where did you get it? I'm looking for a remanufactured one myself.

That carb looks really nice, Chris. Be sure to let us know how much of a difference it makes. That's on my list too. My coach runs well and passes emissions, but it doesn't get the gas mileage I think it should, and could use a little more power. I'm pretty sure I need to do this.

After all these years of service, I imagine any carbs that have not been rebuilt are probably due for service.

However, if it ain't broke................. Very Happy

I think the PO rebuilt it himself a year or so before I bought the coach, but I'm not even sure of that, much less how thorough of a job he did.

Mine passed emissions, but bogged and just wasn't right. I rebuilt it, got it to run a lot better, but then failed emissions.

My manifold was also cracked, so I am installing the Rockwell and this carb this weekend, time permitting, Wifey's car needs a brake job. Stupid car doesn't have serviceable rotors, I have to replace them. Second car that has this... Grrr. Must be a jap car thing.

I'll let you know how the new stuff works out.
