What was the last car you owned that had a carburetor?

swiftie-42069@reddit

1985 Honda Accord in 1998. The transmission crapped out at about 125,000 miles.

[-]

UberBricky80@reddit

1973 Roadrunner, but I have LS swapped things with carbs but I don't think that counts

[-]

The_Motley_Fool----@reddit

My ‘78 CJ5 has a Weber downdraft carburetor. Does that count?

[-]

1999 it was a GMC 1 ton with a 4 barrel Rochester. Truck was a '79 to my memory. It was a 350 4 bolt main. It had tons of power. It was a beast chassis-cab with a stake bed. It weighed 7,200lbs dry. 18,000lb GVRW. It could do 23,000 but ND has some weight registration that changes the class.

Never had to monkey with that toilet bowl of a carb. When those secondaries opened up, you were going 90 like it was nothing. It was as quick as a sports car.350hp, 450lbs/ft of torque. Even being heavy, it was quick. I never had to use the throttle to take off. I'd just idle it out, then use the gas. It had a stump puller fist so you always started in second.

I miss that truck. It was a monster that took up 2 parking spots. I drove it in college for a bit and I got a parking ticket every time I parked. I ignored them because I didn't own it, and a boot wouldn't fit on the wheels.

As to repairing carbs, I have no idea if mechanics can still do it. I can. I rebuilt the carb for my snowblower last year. Had to take it completely apart, soak it in solvent, clean the jets, polish the needle valve, float was fine, replace a gasket, and get it breathing again. It worked and is still working. I rebuilt a carb for a 9N Ford tractor a few years ago. That worked. Rebuilt the carb for a Tecumseh generator.

Carbs are pretty easy. I'd rather do that than troubleshoot a multi-point/port fuel injection system.

For a daily driver commuting vehicle, no.

[-]

smthngeneric@reddit

You had the wrong ones then. Is efi technically better? Yes. But nothing beats the throttle response and sound of the secondaries opening on a carb. Plus all the induction noise you could ever want.

[-]

bobqzzi@reddit

Carbs has way worse throttle response than EFI. You can get IR carbs to be pretty good, and even 4 barrels can work pretty good, but they can't match efi.

[-]

UnderTheFrozenSky@reddit

I pulled the electronic Q-jet off of mine and ran an older Q-jet. They come alive when those big secondaries kick in. I love it when the hood scoop flapper opens.

[-]

HungryHungryMarmot@reddit

Oh! I forgot all about the hood scoop flappers!

Mine had a quadrajet with electric choke. I didn’t know they had an electronic one. However I know the Z28 had the command control computer. Maybe that worked with an electronic Q-Jet?

In any case, my Z28 had a motor swap at some point in its lifetime, and I’m sure that got yanked at the same time.

33 year old Ford master technician here, been in the business since 2013, when I started at a small tire shop. I've been through all kinds of classes and training sessions, in multiple states, and only have 2 left before I reach the top level of certification under the Ford umbrella.

I have received zero carburetor training. There's not even a mention of a carburetor in any of the teaching. OBD1 is also not taught. The only reason I have learned about it is because I worked side by side with a 35+ year experienced mentor, and have always owned either an OBD1 or carbureted truck.

Currently have an '86 Bronco with a carb'ed 351W in it. I've also had a carb'ed '81 F100, 2 OBD1 F150s, and a few boats with carbureted outboards. They aren't rocket science, just different science. I'm one of the few techs in my age range (that I've run into) that has any experience with carbs at all, which is wild to me

My daily driver is a 2005 GMC Yukon that I purchased seven years ago as of this July 1 for $600. It currently has 191,000 miles on it and I purchased it with 120,000 miles. I also own a 1940 Packard model 110. There may be a photo of it on my profile somewhere. That’s got a single barrel carburetor on a straight six engine with an oil bath air filter. The weekend I got at home I went to town on doing all the tuneup things and I spent probably 45 minutes cleaning all the oil off the engine air filter before I realized that it was supposed to be bathed in oil. 😛

[-]

What 1994 Plymouth minivan had a carb still? I had a 1988 Plymouth minivan that was fuel injected. Then a 90 later with a different engine that had feul injection as well. One was the 3.0 v6 the other the 3.3 v6

[-]

Repulsive_Vanilla383@reddit

Yeah doesn't seem right, 1994 is deep into OBD1 and only 2 years away from OBD2. I'd be surprised if any vehicle was sold 94 year with a carb.

94 was the start of obd2, if you were the lucky owner of a Toyota Camry at least.

[-]

Different_Split_9982@reddit

She bought it with 30,000 miles it was 3-4 years old at the time. When it hit 120-130,000 miles let me see the distributer went the fuel pump went two sets of axles my favorite was when the oil pump failed. The car religiously had oil changes at 4000 miles on full synthetic oil. It was probably 2000.

[-]

5141121@reddit

I don't know that I'd count anyone in those first few years of OBD-II lucky.

I worked at a dealership from 95-97 and while it improved over that time, it was a shit show.

[-]

bornecrosseyed@reddit

Is this just because shops didn’t know what to do with the codes? Or they didn’t have the reader to pull them? Seems like a simple, easy to use system to me.

[-]

5141121@reddit

It was a lot of different things. New information was a big one. OBD-II brought a lot more depth to the detail techs could get. But there were also some quirky bits with emissions and things. Like the evap system would throw a CEL if the gas cap wasn't tight enough, but nobody had readers, so it was an expensive dealer stop just to look.

It settled down a lot after the early 2000s as the systems got smarter. But it took some time for sure.

[-]

Repulsive_Vanilla383@reddit

I can imagine it was growing pains for everybody at around that year range. I bet at that time most of the techs still thought fuel injection was the work of the devil.

Depends on the market - Isuzu's pickup was the last passenger car/truck sold in the US with a carb, Ladas hung on in Canada for a couple more years, and I believe some of the cheapest European hatches had carbs almost into the millennium.

Chrysler actually went OBD2 in 94 to make sure they worked out the kinks. They didn't work them out but the port was there in 94 or 95

[-]

I never had a car with a carburetor. My first car was an '87 Ford Taurus Wagon. Electronic Fuel Injection and a whopping 150 hp with a 4 speed automatic. OP- the 1994 Plymouth minivans all had electronic fuel injection. Some were single point that looked similar to a carb, but none had carburetors.

I have an ‘85 Jeep and I just recently converted it to fuel injection. Still got a carbureted motorcycle. I find carbs to be pretty good, except the ones in the early era of emissions control. That jeep carb is like computer controlled and has way too many vacuum hoses and weird stuff going on. My old Volkswagen had a super simple carb that was pretty reliable and my Honda bike never has any issue.

1986 Chevette

It had a lot of old features. 4-speed standard shift, RWD, carburated, belt driven fan. No electronics of any kind. It had no power steering. Can't quite remember about brakes, but I think it had a vacuum boost.

Previous owner had cut out the catalytic converter and replaced it with a resonator. That little 4-cyl 1.6L had a lot of pep when it was tuned just right.

kyson1@reddit

The only carbureted on-road vehicle I've owned was an 85 Ranger 2.8 V6, never had to mess with it either. As for rebuilt, I've done tons of ATVs and small engine carbs. I can tell you that current techs are not taught about induction systems older than they are. I know our local Ford dealer won't even work on '07 and older Powerstroke's, as they don't have techs that are certified or understand them, and Ford doesn't offer the classes anymore. When I worked there in high school(mid 2000's) they had a couple older guys that would work on the handful of older 80's stuff that came in and needed worked on but I think today they would just turn it away to an independent.

What’s a carburetor?

[-]

Cheeko914@reddit

I daily a carbureted 1991 Honda Acty that I beat the living shit out of. My fuel injected stuff are my weekend vehicles. I worked in powersports for a little while so I could work on the carb if needed, but I haven’t had any issues yet.

There’s no way that’s correct. Chrysler minivans would’ve been EFI long before that. According to google EFI came around in 87/88.

A ‘94 Plymouth shouldn’t have had a carb

Motorcycle mechanics definitely do, just had the carb on my KLR650 rebuilt.

Your 1994 Plymouth minivan didn’t have a carburetor. I tend to have one or two vehicles around that have carburetors. 1991 was the last year any Chrysler vehicle had a carburetor.

Last? Still have one-- 69 Vette.

I had a '68 Galaxie in 2005. Loved that car. So simple to work on.

Never owned one, and if I ever do, it's getting EFI immediately.

There's no way a '94 Plymouth minivan had a carb factory.

Heavy_Gap_5047@reddit

Still do, both have Holley carbs.

MagnusAlbusPater@reddit

Never owned one with a carb personally. My family had a Gran Marquis with one in the ‘80s.

Carburetors are one thing that turns me off from ever considering an older vehicle, I don’t want to mess with that nonsense.

Still own a 1992 gmc jimmy with a carburetor. Haven't driven it in about 8 years tho

[-]

Zealousideal_Lack936@reddit

Carburetor or TBI? My 1992 Sonoma had TBI on the 4.3.

[-]

badbowtie1982@reddit

Mines converted to carb with an edelbrock intake manifold and carb

Zealousideal_Lack936@reddit

Ok. I was wondering if it was I4 vs V6 difference or something.

I actually liked the CCCS Q-jets as found in mid 80s F- and G-body GMs. Rebuilt with the MCS dialed in they got ok gas mileage and made good power if you swapped in a taller secondary hangar to fire the quadrabog, and replace the secondary rods with some good long skinny power tips versions. I used to buy boxes of assorted qjet junk parts at swap meets just to scour for the good stuff.
