How to Rebuild Your Carburetor

I have to say i was a little intimidated by all the litte complex workings and intricate system of parts, but once i got in there it really wasnt that bad, it was actually quite simple and easy.
I'll start with a parts and tools list

Parts/Supplies:
-Carb rebuild kit
-A few cans of carb cleaner
-Bucket of solvent to soak parts in
-Lots of rags

Tools:
-Lots of screwdrivers preferably a bit driver with an assortment of bits as well
-Sockets and open end wrenches
-Needle nose pliers
-Assortment of brushes

To start things off go here and download the fsm.

This is for 84 and 85's you may have to searh a bit for earlier fsm's.

Print off the carburetor section (Pg. 246-270)

It will tell you how to do a complete teardown, inspection, assembly, and tuning. By far the best helper you will have during the rebuild.

Mark your vacuum lines well if you dont know the vacuum system.

I put the carb in the top of a bondo can to catch all of the crap and carb cleaner that came off so i could keep a clean work surface, then you can just dump it out periodically



I found it helpful to take pictures of how stuff comes apart JUST in case.

Take pics of the jets as they come out, some of them look very alike


Make sure she's all nice and purdy





Best way to do it is to soak the jets and screws in solvent overnight they come out in amazing shape

And do the step by step reassembly in the fsm and youl be good to go.
I am blown away by the improvement its way more responsive, idles way better, runs better on warmup, and should get better gas mileage (havent checked yet) overall it has a brand new, real clean feel its like a whole new truck.
