    Default Can carb be saved?

    I pulled the carb off of my 81 Capri and began tearing it down. I found there was no plug over the idle needle and appears the needle may be broken off inside (?). There is some damage to the carb body around the hole. I'm wondering if there's any way to get the needle end out and if the damage is too much to the housing to replace the parts.

    Default

    I have a fixture for drilling out seized and broken idle mixture screws from the Ford 2100 series carbs; but there are no guarantees. Too many unknowns regarding corrosion, over-tightening, etc. May only be worthwhile unless you are needing a true match for restoration purposes.

    Send me a message if you want or need more info.
