<p>The&nbsp;Carter AFB carburetor was introduced in 1957, and the same basic design lives on to this day as the&nbsp;Edelbrock&nbsp;manufactured variant. For any mechanical device to remain in production for nearly 60 years is testimony to fine design work and functionality. It also means that countless examples of these carbs can be found&mdash;many in need of basic refurbishment. While a carburetor is not particularly difficult to rebuild, there are many performance enthusiasts who shy away at the thought of disassembling and rebuilding, often choosing to simply buy a replacement instead.</p><p>Rebuilding a carb is actually a fairly quick and easy process that requires little more than a few basic tools, a cleaner, and a carburetor kit. Before the advent of fuel injection in performance vehicles, rebuilding the carb was a routine procedure, performed in garages and backyards across the country. These days, few of us have a&nbsp;carbureted&nbsp;vehicle serving as daily transportation, but a vast majority of hot rods, race cars, and weekend toys still use carbs. As a simple mechanical device, a carb is reliable, relatively cheap, and long lasting. For the most part there is little to wear out, but dirt, debris, and deposits can take a toll, even rendering a carb inoperative. A carb kit will include the typical wear components, as well as new gaskets and seals. We had a&nbsp;750-cfm&nbsp;#6212S&nbsp;carb off a jet boat application, along with a Walker&nbsp;15271A&nbsp;kit. This is how they went together.</p>
