Carburetor Rebuild?

[lamoz]

My 86 winni, has been giving me problems where it started by it shutting down on me..It lacks fuel to the engine. I've research it a bit and suggestions were dirty fuel filter, old fuel pump, electric pump at the tank.. So far I've changed the fuel filter, the mechanical fuel pump. I could not find an electric one and because it's a 22 footer it may not have one. I know is a fuel issue since i can spray starting fluid into the carb and get it running. I think my carburetor is next to get changed or rebuilt... any suggestions?

I had the carb on mine rebuilt last year. Out in California you should not have any problem finding a rebuilder. By getting mine rebuilt and the distributor recurveddistributor recurved it made a world of change power wise.

What's this? how do i do it?

A carburater does not cause the problem.If it starts and runs and then
quits because its starved for fuel the Carb is not the problem
however if it wont start period and by spraying starter fluid in it will start and run at idle it may be a bad accelerater pump in the carb.U need to explain things a little clearer than u have so far
However rebuilding it is quit simple to do
