Default Re: 66 305E with 2g rochester carburetor

I gave one of those a try on an odd fire v6 I used to have. I never found a quality rebuild kit for them. I was constantly battling with the accelerator pump coming apart. Others really liked those carbs though. Couldn't hurt to try.

I think the rebuild kit comes with a little measuring device for setting the float. I would set it there and adjust it afterwards anyways. The accelerator pump is filled from the float bowl by a low spot in the wall between them. If the float level isn't high enough you will have a dead spot right off idle. Some people grind the low spot lower if nothing else helps.

The kits I got came with many different gaskets that I didn't need. If you don't have any numbers to go by you might have to guess and hope it has what you need. I don't believe they came with jets or anything so you will probably be OK.
