Carb Rebuild kit

Im low on cash and my car has a delay sometimes when i accelerate from a stop. Is it cheaper to go with a carb rebuild kit? Im trying to keep it as stock as possible.

Re: Carb Rebuild kit

Sorry should have been more specific. I meant should i just buy a rebuild kit instead of a new one since i dont really have the money for a new one. Some mite say it could mess with things, I know it will if not done rite. Basically is a rebuild kit a good way to go?

Re: Carb Rebuild kit

Yes, rebuild the carb.

So far we have no idea what kind of carb this is, or what setup & problems you really have. If it's just a delay when accelerating, you might just need an accelerator pump (might be able to buy separately...), or adjusting a few screws. Either way, a rebuild is a good "take two advil and call me in the morning" type of thing.

Re: Carb Rebuild kit

Original stock carb. Im unsure of the exact kind. Created a post about a delay when accelerating and i was told it was a bad carb. Its an old car so I dont mind buying a rebuild kit for cheap instead of just twisting a few screws.
