94 Carburetor rebuild advice
 

I took (3) 94 carbs off the shelf to rebuild. All 4 have the bottom shafts of the accelerator pump located in different positions on the shaft lever-referenced 1, 2 or 3. I figure some of those settings may be summer or winter references. 2 of the 3 carburetors have power valves with orifice holes of one size and the 3rd carburetor has a larger size. The kits I purchased have 2 size power valves. Can anyone suggest what the best setting is on the accelerator pump lever position may be and which power valve in the kit-big or little hole-would work best. Thanks in advance

Hopefully CharlieNY will respond. He is all things 94.

Those "two power valves" you reference are not both power valves. Later 94's had an additional device mounted higher on the carb called a "spark valve". Most current carburetor kits include both. Although they look similar they are not interchangeable.

Send them out to Charlie NY, give him a heads up of what you have and desire and he will reply with a turn around time and ship them.

I have two recently re-built coming back the end of this week with some helmet distributors. Good luck and let us know how you make out with your project..

All respect to Charlie, but damn, some of us do our own work.

On top of that, the poor guy must be working 60 hours a week with all of these recommendations.

1, 2 & 3 are setting to make the carb a bit richer in cold weather. 1= very hot or summer, 2=avg temp and 3= extreme cold

OK-thanks for the advice on the latter model 94 units which feature a power valve looking device on the side. that explains the 2 units in the kit. How about the setting for the accelerator pump The lever is stamped 1, 2 & 3. The 3 carbs I I plan to rebuild have two which are set in '2' and one was set on '1' . Maybe Winter/Summer . Thanks again

Thats the reply I needed-most of the other 94's I've collected are in the 2 position

What Denny...aka tubman says....7 days/week busy busy.
I'm certainly not trolling for more work but 94's are seldom brought back to good health
with a kit. Before embarking on a rebuild scroll back thru MARTS GARAGE and find the
episode where he preps a 94 bowl for use. 94's are very sensitive to vacuum leaks
and you'll know real quick when there is a vac leak. Strombergs usually can take a

lickin' and keep on tickin'....94's not so much.
