2slow Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Is there a carb that can replace the carbs on the 66 520 J13 mtr or one that can be adapted thanks Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 i dont know much about j or a series engines but if they came with a hitachi that had the same style of carb base on them i woudl assume you coul adapt a weber using a conversion kit, you would have to adjust the jetting for the smaller displacement of course Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Are you looking for a performance upgrade? The Nikki carb on the 1966 is a good carb as long as it is in operable condition. You may consider a rebuild if the carb is leaking. Keith Quote Link to comment
2slow Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Not a performance upgrade the carb that is on it I think the former owner screwd around with it and it has a hesitation coming off of idle that I cant seam to get out of it Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 You can replace it with a Weber with an adapter. Quote Link to comment

sinner720st Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 your stock carb just needs a larger idle jet..... you make it sound like its running lean just off idle, that would meanthat when your throttle plate opens and uncovers the progressive circuit, there is not enough fuel flowing out of it.... either that or your accel pump is messed up.

2slow Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 is there an online diagram of the carb or which one is the idle jet the accelerator pump is working good as it squirts gas in the carb thanks Quote Link to comment
