1950-52 Carter YF 2100S
Permalink  
 

My friend Andrews truck has been in Canada for a year...    Its been in my garage since last fall....  

The truck ran for a 1/4 mile and quit last spring   He flushed gas tank, and replaced cap and rotor and wires.  Rebuilt the Carter YF and replaced intake and exhaust  gaskets..  

IT WILL NOT RUN    Its got fuel pressure from pump   If you spray it with brake clean it will run for seconds  

Andrew says get a new carb!!  

Bright me reads about a W1 Carter   I buy a re-built W1 from E-bay  beautiful carb!!  

duh  doesn't fit   stupid me   wrong bolt battern  YF is 2 15/16  W1 is different    

I cleaned the tag on the door and confirmed its a 1949 3100  

I checked engine and theres no serial on engine  shaved off   the block is 3835692  so its had a engine change to 50-52 235

 

so does anyone have a running YF carb 2100S ??    I checked with Bills Truck Shop and he won't ship carbs   

 

 need help   price not a issue     Carl

sounds like the float is stuck closed, those old carbs are pretty simple, perhaps take it apart and inspect it internally

Carl, this problem is pretty simple. Will it keep running if you trickle gas into the carb?

I"m not sure   Andrews mechanic re-built it     I never tried a gas trickle   maybe I should ?    love to get it running so we can move it around

I'll put YF back on tomorrow and try just some gas with a pop bottle ?   It does run with brake clean sprayed in   thanks

An empty windex bottle with the pump sprayer works good.
The W-1 carb is correct for the 49, maybe the intake and carb was changed?
As fastax posted the needle could be stuck in.

.For some reason you are not getting  gas heres a link to the yf rebuild settings . once the carb is primed  you should be able to see the gas shoot out

 http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/carb/carter/52carter1.html

I have a hard copy of the 2105s (auto choke) and the information is the same other then the choke  setup. I can e mail you a copy if needed .PM

Fill the float bowl trough the vent tube. Use a water bottle with a small hole, read SMALL hole, in the lid. See if it will run.

Does Bill's Truck Stop have a new carb?  Perhaps a local could pick it up there and ship it to you.wink

 

Oh, and break clean is not a good thing to spray into an engine.no

bring the carb to me, i could very easily fix it, i think i may even have a rebuild kit for it.  if the engine runs on a combustible sprayed into the engine you know it will run.

From the original description of the problem I would think its rust or dirt stuck in the low speed circuit. no you cant buy a new one and the only other replacement would be a rochester b that puke gas that will be a mixture of used clapped out parts. The yf is the best single barrel carb you can put on a 235 . easier just to find out what the problem is because there could be more problems with a replacement.

 Problem with this one you will run out of steam at the top end with out going back and changing a bunch of stuff. These along with the rochester b were built for dozens of different cars they look the same on the outside but that's where similarities end. remans are usually a rag tag mixture of whatever parts they have because they rebuild them in batch lots. without taking it back apart and checking you could have anything in there . Rebuild kits can be as big of a gamble unless you get them from a specialty shop. To give you an idea here is a list of yf carb for chev I6

Here is a listing of the Carter type YF specifically produced for Chevrolet. Somewhere, I have a similar list for Stromberg.

This list taken directly from the Carter files. Note there are a few listed as "number assigned, no production". These were experimental carbs that were never produced. Unless I slipped up (certainly possible) this list is COMPLETE for the YF's for Chevrolet. There are many other YF's for other applications.

well of course you do your homework and find a carb with similiar jetting and cfm rating.  i wouldnt put a carb from a straight six on a big block, they may fit but wont work right.  i also do some research and make sure the supplier knows what they are selling too.  nothing worse then laying out hard earned cash only to get stuff that is no good or wont work.

I'm back biggrin   spoke to mechanic today    

It seems the carb, before and after re-build  FLOODED the engine and fowled the plugs!!    with gas hooked up it flooded....with no gas hooked up it would run on a shot of BC

Andrew and mechanic thing its a "Altitude" problem   Truck lived its life on the "top of mountain" in Colorado...

 

I am proficient at removing and replacing...  but I don't take carbs apart...     I thought I was doing the easy thing, by buying, a rebuilt W1 for 200 bucks

 

We live 60 miles north of London close to Bayfield

sounds like a poor rebuild, gas is either getting in when it shouldnt or leaking in from a seal or gasket

Was the carb rebuilt? or did it just get a kit in it..big difference..doesit have a brass float or a cellulous one..have you actually  had the carb on it or seen what is does.. have you tried to run it with the top off the carb to watch and see what may be happening with float, needle and seat, pump well??? they are about as simple a carb as you can get..It should be easy  but I have said that before and then had to marry her, never trust a girl with peanut butter legs...biggrin.. is your shop heated?? I hate the cold..and like I said before I have seen easy and sometimes it's easier said ...I am not to far away and could maybe find a time to come by ..where sactly is you....I am just off 23 by the cemetery north of Kirkton...on line 10 like to keep my eye on the cemetery make sure they keep the lawn cut, flowers watered and side walks clear in winter in case I get company I hate being alone all winter down there..disbelief You couls also try to check out the stove bolt forum to see if anybody there has an sea-foam fix or a silver bullet..

          The mechanic installed a "kit"   I have not had it running, or looked "in" it    

          If I took it apart confuse it would never go together again no  I have the patience of a 2 year old biggrin  I'd thrown it in the garbage.... Yes I would 

          I would ship it somewhere, if someone would re-build it and receive large sums of money via Pay Pal or E transfer    

          The carb is off and sitting     really no rush I can pull tne truck out and push in if I get a day that looks like spring  (make that summer)

I could do it for you but Chuck is a lot closer all the information he would need is here

http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/carb/carter/52carter1.html

It has a brass float so even if it leaks they are easy to repair Information here under troubleshooting - brass float
