My carb has been leaking for over a year now. I am still finding the right solution to my problem. My story goes like this, I have a 29 year old Honda Accord with a leaking carb. Apparently, the leak is because of the uneven surface at the base. I am just translating what my mech said to me. It has been skimmed to make it even previously and now it has no more room to skim. I don't know how to see that but this is what my mech told me. Not one mech but a few of them told the same thing.
Which leaves me with no other option but to change the carb. Right? I just feel it's ridiculous to get a brand new carb for this car. It is available but it costs nearly the value of the car. So, I am thinking of getting a used one. Some mechs said that getting the carb from the same type of car is pointless as it can cause the same problem and asked to get Wira or C20 carb. I heard that with the C20 carb, the acceleration won't be the same. Wira carb I don't know. Some asked to get back the same carb so that there is no need to mod the base.
To me, as long as i can solve this problem in the most cost effective way would be enough. I'm not looking for it to be fast and furious. If I want it fast, I would have transplanted a B16 long ago but i didn't because the engine is in damn good condition. Better if I can improve the FC of this car. Its my old man who is driving this car now. So, hope you guys understand and help me solve this problem. It's really hard to find people who knows a lot carbs these days. Thanks.
