JB Weld is not a sponsor, there is always a way to repair/modify the original design. Fuel injection eliminated a lot of the carburetor issue's in modern cars it is a walk down memory lane fixing carbs on the picnic table. Granted you have raised my level of hindsight, I had a 65 2dr Corsa (35 yes ago). Great job!

These are great looking 4dr cars. While I always had Corsa coupes I'd definitely go for a 4dr now.

In case you don't know it but the carbs for the motors had different idle circuit opening points depending on trans, horsepower, and the year. In better terms, the idle speed, airflow, and fuel flow were different in relation to the throttle plate position at idle and off idle. Not much and most people don't notice it but I am a perfectionist when it came to my carbs LOL I got the smoothest idle and best power when the carbs were just what came on the motor originally. I tried other carbs from other motors but they never quite worked as well. I won't tell you what I did to correct the cornering problem :)...I did not relocate the jets but solved the problem anyway.

What an informative and entertaining video Armen. It's always helpful to see where the potential pitfalls are. Thanks for producing it.

A better method to test a float is to immerse them in hot water which causes the air to expand inside. If there are any pin holes they will show up right away.

Awesome video, thank you!

Nice video !

This is a great video! My 67 (110hp) driver's side carb has weak to no spray, so I'm thinking it may be time to rebuild both carbs just to know where I'm at. This video came at the right time! Great info. I may modify some old carbs I have recently acquired like this and try them out eventually. Thanks!

I never understood why GM made their air cleaners with snouts that reduced in size restricting air flow. I liked to take the snout off a second unit and make mine a double similar to the 140hp style. Also modded the tops of the carbs with extended tubes to raise the vent to keep sloshing fuel out of the carb throat.

Ok its 2 years old but maybe somebody will be helped from these tips Its not a secondary carb the carbs are offset on the 140 because of the firing order and the way the pulses in the intake are spaced. The 4 carbs should be identical for this reason. The air horn you cut out is to help fuel distribution and atomization coming from the boosters. cutting It out may help flow and power at higher RPMs but hurt low and mid range . The vents could be a u shape one to the other with a hole at the top. Eliminating the enrichment circuit will require a larger main jet and if you do one you need to do all 4. Its not a good idea since what the enrichment circuit is doing is making it so at light throttle high vacuum the engine can be a little lean and crisp but once you open the throttle it will richen the mixture as the vacuum drops. Very similar to a map sensor on a modern car. Them there factory engineers are smarter than you thing it the bean counters that mess things up. Also one thing about the front suspension on a corvair the Ackerman is backwards that's really bad it maybe a crude attempt to tighten the car up really crude. if you can drive solving that will really help but it will handle like a Porsche really loose

Yeah i'm not the only one to break something while "fixing" it! What did you do for the primary to get it to squirt? Just need to clean it?

What's your take on the 4bbl intake for these cars

Great video! is this the only Corvair You own? I liked the late sedans ,the only early sedans I liked was the 60! do You only use electric fuel pumps,if so why? man I got get back into my Corvairs 64 Greenbrier ,65 Corsa turbo & 67 Monza drop top, got turn wrenches on other stuff for now.Love the Vairs!

What ignition/distributor are you running?
