Electric Carburetor Information

    Problems

    • When a carburetor is bad, a vehicle can suffer a number of different problems. Difficulty starting your vehicle can be caused by a bad carburetor. A vehicle with a dirty carburetor can also idle roughly, as well as experience problems with stalling.

    Rebuilding

    • A bad carburetor can be rebuilt with a kit. Though a four barrel carburetor may prove difficult, one and two barrel carburetors are considered fairly simple to rebuild. However, if it's leaking air from its throttle shafts, then the carburetor should be replaced instead of rebuilt.

    Replacement

    • It is considered less of a risk to replace some carburetors as opposed to trying a rebuild. Carburetors with electric feedback controls would be an example of this. However, a replacement carburetor can cost well over $500 depending on type.
