My first ever carburetor rebuild just happens to be this same one. First classic, 1963 corvair monza spyder convertible. Thank you so much for this video. Lost count how many times I’ve watched this now
@@lostwrenchgarage no I had to wait on some parts from Clark’s. The butterfly screws for the choke and a couple gaskets. For some reason my choke butterfly is more like 1/16 gap instead of 7/16. Gave up on it today will continue tomorrow
Welcome to the YH club. I've had them in a '65 and '66 Corsa. They can be finicky. Great to see that you have Bob Helt's book. His other three books are a must for anyone getting into Corvair restoration. We had a problem with fuel boiling over after engine shut off. Float level and good needle and seats were critical. Alcohol in some fuels we had to use were probably part of the problem. Good luck with your Spyder.
@@lostwrenchgarage If you're forty five minutes from Kokomo, have you discovered the Circle City Corvair Club in Indy? It's a great group. My wife and I haven't been active since before Covid. We sold our Corsa, but you just might inspire us to look for an early model.

Fantastic! Hope your rebuild went ok. Is your Corvair running now?

Followed everything from the book and your video not sure why my gap is so small

Thank you Terry. It was fun getting to know this carburetor. I’ll be sure to get Bob’s other books. Thanks for watching!

Excellent job on your carburettor rebuild, Scott. I'm really enjoying your videos. Cheers from the UK.
Many thanks! It was fun digging into that unusual carb. Cheers from the US!
Thanks for posting. I'll be doing the same to my Spyder (hopefully) soon as well.
Best of luck! It wasn't too bad with a bit of reading/research. Actually a lot of fun.
Subbed on your first video. Well presented and so informative +1 all day. Best wishes from the UK.
Thank you so much! Cheers!
Meticulous work, sir.
Thank you kindly!
Convair is awesome
TURBO GREAT
Oh boy, nothing like tearing into an old carburetor you know little or nothing about and wondering "Was this even assembled properly to begin with?".
That is EXACTLY what happened LOL
@@lostwrenchgarage Oh trust me, I know, I've been there many times haha!
