Hey guys well my carter 625 afb has gone down the crapper and needs a rebuild badly, i don't know when i'm gonna have enough money to buy a whole new carb, so i was just gonna rebuild it. How hard is it going to be, I've never fooled with carbs too much, but i was gonna buy a book or something that could help me out, think i would be able to pull this off? Thanks guys

 

I'm surprised no one has replied yet.

I don't have any first-hand experience, but from what I've heard from these boards and talking to guys that have them, they are one of the simplier carbs to rebuild.

Yes, buy a book. I have no idea which one you should, though.

That may not help much, but at least you're back to the top now...

 

Thanks for replying i'm suprised none of the other carb gurus have replied, i've heard its a fairly simple carb to rebuild, do you think its possible for me to pull off i'm not that dumb lol

 

The first carb I rebuilt was the Carter WCFB on the orginal 283 in the '57 (I had just turned 17 at the time). All I had to guide me were the instructions in the kit. It ran fine afterwards.

Believe me, a q-jet is a breeze compared to that carb. And, the AFB's are supposed to be even easier than a q-jet. If your report card ever said "Follows instructions well", you should be fine.

 

Absolutley the easiest carb to rebuild, probably don't need a book as long as you pay attention to how it came apart. I don't think there are more than 10-12 pieces inside of them. Don't worry about it, you will be surprised how little there is to it. Good luck!

 

Woohoo! There's hope for me, Thanks again to all that replied! I'll post back how the rebuild turns out.
