Rebuilding a Carburetor- Autolite 2100 like new!

Mustang wouldn’t start and figured the carb needed a good cleaning and rebuild. Follow along as I take apart the Autolite 2100, clean it and place it back together with new gaskets and parts.

Brass float,oe from the factory,the plastic floats are much better,its needn a clean and new parts npieces,my dad modified the brass tubes a little bigger holes,which meant better performence on all the pieces,esp at w.o.t.ohh the power valve is shot ita a mess good luck

I had a 1971 2100 rebuilt. When I installed it I found out where the fuel filter goes in is stipped. Is that a pipe thread or do you have any ideas how to repair. Thanks

[@whatsdadcookin6320]

I’m not sure. Mine was threaded

[@Jimmyz96]

if i were you , id JB weld a threaded fitting in and use a nipple and an inline filter. once its cured JB is impervious to gasoline

[@Barret_Radtke]

do you need to plug the hole in the front center of the carb top? mine was spraying out fuel so plugged it with red RTV.

[@whatsdadcookin6320]

Hmm. Haven’t had issues yet.

[@Breakitandfixit]

The one I was working on was doing the same. I’m gonna rebuild the carb and will let you know

[@Breakitandfixit]

Put it all together and it runs

[@WilliamMunny-d8s]

how much shaft play is too much and will cause a vacum leak?
his sounds pretty tight and squeaky

[@whatsdadcookin6320]

I’m not sure.

[@markfeuerherdt2338]

What kind of fuel filter is that, the one you unscrewed off the carburetor? Part # and where? Thanks.
