Carb Install

I started installing the new carb today. Removed the old POS and spend a bunch of time cleaning up the "new" one. I decided against doing the rebuild since I'm short on time and long on not having a car. I pulled the carb from a car that just arrived at the junkyard. It appeared to be in good working order, so I'm not TOO worried about it needing a rebuild... yet.

Amazing how everything goes back together nicely when you're actually using the right carb.

I'm just having problems with one thing. There's some kind of sensor or solenoid that stick out of the back of the carb with two wires coming out of it. From looking at the wiring diagrams, it might be the Primary Fuel Cut Solenoid. The problem is that I can't figure out where one of the wires is supposed to go...?

More wiring problems. Great.

Other than that, things are going well. I should be done in the morning.

Carbs... bah.

Well, my wonky carburetor is finally on its last legs. I almost couldn't get to the kid's school to pick him up today.

No problem, I have another carb ready for a rebuild, right? I pull it out of its box and notice that this "working carb" "just pulled off of a working car" is missing vital parts. So no hot rebuild action for me today. Just staring at a useless carb.

So tomorrow I'm going to go to the junkyard, try to find another 2TC carb with the right parts on it and rebuild it tomorrow.

BAH I SAY!
