<VV> Carb Kit Watchout

[GYoungwolf at aol.com]

I recently became aware of a problem with some Rochester H/HV carburetor kits 
that are on the market. I make up my own kits, so it wasn't until I bought 
The Corvair Doctor's remaining inventory that I found the problem. These were 
all Walker kits and some had inlet valve kits numbered 31-514, which have a 
.086" opening, and some had inlet kits numbered 31-523, which have a .101" 
opening. I guess either is okay, as our carbs originally came with the smaller inlet, 
but I don't recommend mixing them, and only use the larger ones on my 
rebuilds. I'm not sure of the problems it might cause, but why test it? I highly 
recommend you check the numbers if you purchase aftermarket kits from anyone.
