I took apart my carburetor and had a delay when getting new gaskets and couldn't remember how tonput together. Thanks for the simple and easy to follow video 👍
I have a 4GC carb that is having issues where I can get it to idle (rough), but will barely run when in gear. It was rebuilt 4 years ago, but has been sitting since then. While trying to troubleshoot I ran into this video. I found it so helpful that my confidence is now there to pull the top and have a look at the float and look for obvious plugging of the jets. Thanks very much for a great clear video.
Man, do I hear ya. Mine is also a 2GC on a Bayliner with a 2.3L OMC Ford engine and dumping fuel in idle. Just can't find specs on proper float levels. Looked online everywhere and nothing. On yours I would check your ventry ports. Make sure they are not clogged. Cheers.
Thanks for the video! First time rebuilding my 2G. Just got done with the disassembly. A lot easier than what I though. Hopefully it’s as easy to rebuild. Thanks for the help!!
good job, the zoom in close up shots were great help in my rebuild as i have to wear 2 pairs of cheater glasses to see like i used to see in my younger days
My vision has always been pretty bad, so I know how it feels! I use the magnifier on my phone all the time - it’s a huge help. Glad this video was useful to you
Brian. Super helpful clear well-filmed video. Thank you. Please make the reassembly video. I need to do my 1st-ever rebuild of a (1961 Impala Rochester 2GC) carburetor.
in my 68 Pontiac catalina the carburetor needs to be rebuilt. its a 2 barrel carb. Rochester 2 jet carb but i dont know where to look to find a rebuild kit
Brian, Can you tell me the float level and drop in inches for a Rochester 2 barrel 2GV that came from a 1969 Chevy G10 van 307 V8 and if I measure to the solder joint or bottom of the brass float. Oddly, the kit I bought came with a cardboard measuring tool but no spec sheet to tell me the measurement and I cannot find anything on line. Thanks. Joe
Hey Joseph. My kit came with the little cardboard ruler too. It also came with a big piece of paper that had instructions on it. One of the sections was how to set your float levels, and it had the information there. Yours didn’t come with any papers? It’s been a long time since I’ve done this, I looked but couldn’t find the box - it’s probably long gone. If you can’t find it let me know and I’ll see what I can find.
Man, I have a question, I just got myself a nicer, 74 buick apollo 350 v8. It has the 2 barrel divorced choke carb. My inlaw,broke my air horn, by tightening my filter down a little too much. I just got me a refurbished 2 barrel rochester, but it isn't divorced, it has the piece on the carburetor it self. Can I just swap them, or?. I'm having a hard time finding online what to do.
Hmmm.. I’d really have to see them both in front of me to be sure. Does it look like you can just swap the air horn from the new one onto your old one? Does it have all the same provisions as your old one, or is it set up differently in a way that your divorced choke linkages won’t hook up to it? If all else fails, I’m pretty sure you can just buy the appropriate air horn.. I’m seeing quite a few listing for them, just not sure if any are for your particular carb.
Once its disassembled, what should I clean it with? I have seen things online about people using Simple Green with varying effectiveness. What do you recommend?
Hey there! I’ve seen all kinds of cleaners recommended for cleaning the carb body. I’ve even heard of people soaking them in pinesol, or even boiling it! You need to be careful with simple green as it isn’t recommended for certain materials. If I remember correctly, it shouldn’t be used on aluminum, but you’ll want to look that up and double check. I remember trying a combination of things, but ultimately it was mostly just scrubbing with carb cleaner and hot VERY soapy water (Dawn dish soap). Another option is to pick up a gallon of chem dip, and literally just drop the parts right in. I try to avoid harsh chemicals when I can, so I didn’t try that route. You’re basically left with either some good old scrubbing, or dunking it in a chemical. Hope this gives you some direction! Thanks for watching.
Aloha. I have a carburetor look similar to what you have. I having issue finding what model I have. No numbers because it was chrome out. Appreciate if I can DM you a picture of my carburetor you can help me out on identifying so I can go forward in purchasing the rebuild kit. Aloha
On my 70 Impala the 2 barrel started a leak on the top. I thought it was a gasket, so I made a new one. Ran good for an hour or so then it started leaking again. I really can't tell where it's coming from. is it possible for the pivot rod that connects to the pump be leaking through that hole? . Doesn't seem to be coming from the rubber vent plug. Ordered a new carb for now, but would like to fix the original. One of my carbs from a 64 Impala didn't have the vent hole. I don't want to keep removing it over and over to fix it or think I'm fixing it
Unfortunately I had someone who wanted to buy the car (Chevelle) and I had to scramble to get it back together, so I completely forgot to take a reassembly video :( If I get my hands on one of these again I absolutely will do one.
@@BriGuyGarage please get a cheap one off ebay or craigslist and do. I'm sure the likes and subscriptions will increase and make up for the cost. I Need to do this for a 70 c10 307 2bbl. Thanks for this btw.

Thank you for the video… I’ve taken my carb apart also and noticed a few things wrong with it that your video highlights.

Cool thanks. after watching this i realized i never removed my tube wells. I bet they are filled with crud just like everything else was
Can you do a video of the rebuild, or did you already do one since this video was 4 years ago?
awesome video! Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Awesome video, thank you
The one with the check ball does it have a screen down in the chamber?
Your good thank you!!! So does a 61 impala👍

GREAT video! GREAT explanation! Thank you so much for making this video.
Rebuild please
Thanks for the video. I have Rochester 2 Jet used on a OMC 3.8L V6, but it didn't have those tubes at 22:25. Do you know if they're necessary?

Soldered brass float dude.

@@BriGuyGarage If you go to O’Reilly’s auto parts and tell them your kit information they can print it out for you at the store.
Looks like the above comment was for you!
i can tell he not very fussy by the wornout screwdriver he using on jets& power valve

You could not even tell the float is a Brass soldered two piece float. Not the NITROPHYL style at all that you said you had.
