Every used carburetor in our inventory is carefully inspected. We ensure the main aluminum or zinc casting is uncracked, the linkages move freely, and it serves as an excellent, solid base for a straightforward rebuild or immediate installation.

  • Throttle Shaft Inspection: We check for excessive play that causes un-tunable vacuum leaks.

Quality Standards for a Reliable Used Carburetor

When you buy used fuel system parts online, the physical integrity of the casting is everything. Here are the quality standards for every Falcon carburetor:

  • 1. Linkage Check: We actuate the throttle and choke linkages to ensure they move smoothly and are not seized by rust.
  • 2. Butterfly Valve Inspection: The throttle plates are inspected to ensure they open fully and close tightly without binding against the barrel walls.
  • 3. Casting Integrity: The main bowl and air horn castings are checked for physical cracks or stripped out screw threads.
  • 4. Base Plate Flatness: The bottom mounting surface is checked with a straight edge to ensure it hasn't warped from over-tightening.
  • 5. Port Inspection: Fuel inlet threads and vacuum ports are checked to ensure they are clean and un-snapped.
  • 6. Direct Tag Matching: We use the exact factory stamp or tag number to match flow rates and jetting to your specific engine code.

Common Questions About Buying Used Carburetors

The cost of a used carburetor typically ranges from $75 to $350. Simple 1-barrel or 2-barrel carbs are on the lower end, while highly sought-after 4-barrel performance carbs (like Rochester Quadrajets or Carter Thermo-Quads) cost more.

A carburetor mixes air and liquid fuel in the precise ratio required for internal combustion. It utilizes engine vacuum to pull fuel through tiny jets into the air stream before it enters the intake manifold.

Common symptoms include hard starting, a rough or stalling idle, black smoke from the exhaust (running rich), hesitation or stumbling during acceleration, and poor fuel economy.

While we inspect all used carburetors for free-moving linkages and intact castings, we highly recommend installing a basic rebuild kit (new gaskets and seals) before installation, as sitting dry can cause old gaskets to shrink.

The 'barrels' are the air passages. A 2-barrel has two passages and is used for daily driving and fuel economy. A 4-barrel has two smaller primary barrels for cruising and two large secondary barrels that open under heavy acceleration for more power.

Yes, if the factory carburetor was originally equipped with an electric or thermostatic (hot air) choke housing, we include that assembly with the carburetor.

We visually inspect the main casting for heat warpage or cracks. We manually actuate the throttle shafts to ensure the butterfly valves move smoothly without binding, and we verify the vacuum ports are intact.

Yes, this is a popular modification for older engine swaps. However, it requires significant changes, including a new intake manifold, a lower-pressure fuel pump, a stand-alone ignition distributor, and a fuel pressure regulator.

External fuel leaks are incredibly dangerous and are usually caused by a stuck internal float, a failed needle valve, or degraded paper gaskets that have dried out over time.

Yes. Even an exact matching OEM carburetor will need minor adjustments after installation. You will need to adjust the idle speed screw and the idle mixture screws to match your specific engine's vacuum.
