Got an odd problem with my carb , was playing with it today checking the vacuum lines and noticed the carb is missing a fuel sprayer was missing on the rt side. I have a feeling this can cause my stumble and I have a feeling it is not replaceable.

Second, I have the dash apart to rewire the stereo and remove the wiring to the coolant low light. Well, the coolant low light was dash mounted and the wiring you can see the one splice, the rest of the wiring seems to go into the factory wiring loom. The next two pics are of misc comment ions that go to nothing , one of them actually look like a headlight wiring plug.

The three wire connector may have gone to a time delay relay for suspension tell tale light. It (the relay that plugged into the connector) looked like a small flasher for the hazard lights.

Glen,
The part may or may not be available depending if you have a carb shop near you. Has the carb ever been rebuilt or is it the original to the coach? It might be the time that you send the carb to Jim B in Florida or up to Dick Paterson to be rebuild and calibrated to original specs. All worn parts are replaced and the unit is calibrated on a flow bench to insure it works right out of the box. I ran both the rebuild carb and the distributor from Dick Paterson and it was great with no more carb or distributor problems. Both were worn out. Check your carb number, it must have the following numbers. 7043254,7045254,7045554,17057254,17057559,17058254,17058559 to be a GMC motorhome carb.
