Hey,

I bought one of the 'Brand X' carbs from AJP for my M-38 even after being warned that He had problems with it (my fault, no blame). Whatever, has anyone had any success with it? I can't get a smooth idle OR good higher speeds, seems like fuel starvation, but not my area of expertise.

Help !!!!

Thanks in advance,

Bill

If you mean a Solex I found 1st the fuel pressure is very important, I used an electric pump but you can use a regulator. Then on mine we had to sweak the high speed - I'm told most work right out of the box if the pressure is correct, but I had to adjust as it would die when you stepped on the gas. So far it's run well.

My mistake, I should have done a little better on my description! This was a 'knock-off' of the Carter YS-637 for an M-38, seemingly identical in every feature, he sold them on ebay for about $75. In the auction it was stated that he had been unable to get a decent idle out of them.A later follow-up with AJP indicated no further luck!

Surely someone besides Me tried one of these, and hopefully got them to work OK!

OMG - I got it to work!

#1 - Float level, WAY off, shutting off fuel, (low level in bowl)

#2 - Upper hole in Bleeder tube (Item RS in manual) partially plugged with small residue from drilling it
during manufacturing process.

#3 - Bleeder tube not tightened, possible partial air leak

Which one did the most good? Darned if I know Laughing

Thanks for the help, gave me the impetus to open it up!

It has been a definite success story, runs MUCH better than the old/worn out 'WO' I had on there! Looks a $&% of a lot better too.

Now working (still) on finding 'affordable' m-38 waterproof ignition wires at a low price.

In the 1st post, I mistakenly listed AJP as where I bought it! In actuality, it was Brent Mullins Jeep parts:

http://mullinsjeepparts.com

The site was down just now, so I have no idea if there are any more.

I will make the modificatios and see how well it works. Brent Mullins was up front with the sale of these, so I knew that problems but I bought it because of the cheap price with the thoughts of using it as a core.
Thanks for the info.
