So, I got a wonderful video sent to me from the body shop of my Mustang dumping fuel from the accelerator pump and power valve on the 2 barrel 289. To the point of the fuel ponding on the intake and splashing the exhaust when idling. Thankfully nothing caught fire. It's an older aftermarket 2100 knock off.
Come to find out the body shop had noticed a small leak from the accelerator pump and decided to take it upon themselves to disassemble and put back together. Obviously they jacked that up because it was getting much worse. Regardless, they are good group of guys and appreciate their tenacity, but wish they would of just called.
I already have an intake and 4b Edelbrock I'm planning on putting on. But need to get the car down the road home when it's done. And I'd rather swing by the shop and throw a cheapie carb on there just for safety measures.
Curiosity, has anyone ever purchased one of these 2100 china carbs off of amazon? I found 2, and just wonder if I'm getting myself into deeper poo than needed to. I only need something to get it moving in and out of the shop.
Thoughts? I just figured it would be easier than rebuilding a carb I won't use.
