    Pretty sure the carb in my 56 Nomad is acting up again. We put a kit in , but it may need a new float and other things. It's worn out and may be in need of having throttle shafts rebuilt. I was trying to take it up to the Tripple **X drive in for the TRI-FIVE show but looking it may not happen. Thanks... Rob-RedM

    sounds like a piece of cake,
    I might have a core if yours is really trashed

    These guys have parts for just about anything. I rebuild carbs myself but they can do it for you. I got parts for my Carter W1s here. Reasonable prices. The website say they are in Auburn but I have never been there. I go the the Kent location.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Paul, The tag is missing off my carb. I haven't taken it off yet, I can get some cast numbers maybe off the body if that will help any. Let me know if you have a core, that is rebuildable , I'll pay you for it. Thanks !
