Am I the only one with a carb'ed 2.3L? I don't see any others enjoying the wonders of non-EFI 4-cylinders?

You out there?

Until a few months ago, I had an '83
ranger---nice cam, headers & a 2 bbl
holley---had a prob w/the 2 bbl & went
back to the 1 bbl YFA

Just wanted you to know that I under-
stand the joy of carburetion---carbs
are more responsive to kickin'n'kussin
than f/i, it seems---by the 1st weekend
owning this '92 LX i have now, I was ready
to go out and put that old '79 Pinto motor
I have in it

If they're more responsive to kickin'n'kussin - it ought to be running really good now. LOL!

Seems my hunch was right about there not being anyone else...

Tell me, what is this "carburetor" you speak of? Is it an ancient relic from a long gone northern european culture?

Click to expand...

If I recall - a carburetor is nothing more than a cylindrical object that sits atop an engine through which we humans pour a golden elixir (in vast quantities!) hoping that it will make the animal beneath it purr nicely. Maybe I haven't found the right flavor elixir 'cause all my animal seems to do it fart all the time.....
