I am trying to raise my 65 mustang inline 6 from the dead....it hasnt' been started in 20 years.
I am staying with the stock parts for now. I am trying to rebuild the carburetor. I bought a Walker rebuild kit and installed those parts without much problem.
I have a couple of questions....here is the diagram I used to help with the rebuild: https://www.carburetor-blog.com/knowledge-base/autolite-1100-exploded-view/
My carb is currently off of the car
1.) Is the vent valve rod supposed to stay closed....unless engaged by the vent activating lever? I am thinking that I may need to replace the spring. Is the spring supposed to be strong enough to keep it closed.
2.) Is the throttle plate supposed to be completely closed. on the bottom. unless activated by the accelerator pump control rod? I am wondering if I need to replace the over travel spring.
Thanks.....any other tips on rebuilding the carburetor are welcome!
