Well this is me again, this is my third thread, I live in Nicaragua, a speak Spanish all the time, my English is not so good.
I’ve got a Honda Accord Third gen, LX Model, 1987.
Engine code HHN2.0V2FEF3
VIN number : 1HGCD5646VA082666
Motor number : ES22534436
It's a four door sedan, manual transmission.
I’ve got a faulty carb, This car is making about 12 miles per gallon in town, I’m getting less than half the original gas mileage of my accord. I know most of you doesn’t concern too much for this, if you get a faulty carb, maybe you just replace it with an original model, some other fellows even change the carburetor system to other more powerful or economical system, others adapt a different kind of carburetors ( Webber for example), I don’t have too many options here, there are five junk yards in the whole country, they specialize in recent car parts ( Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan), they rarely import Honda accord 3g parts, accessories at most, getting an original carburetor here is as easy as getting a Concorde reactor, that easy.
Some mechanic checked my carburetor, he said I’ve got a two barrel carburetor, one of them is faulty, it has a open side like it has lost pressure on it, I don’t get it too much, but it is letting too much fuel pass through and waste, he said I must change it as soon as possible, but he said I would hardly find an original carburetor for my accord, he said I should change to a more simple carb like Toyota 3k or Toyota something, I cant’ recall.
Well, It’s been almost a year since that checkup, apparently all others parts are ok, spark plugs, air filter, etc, but I don’t know, unfortunately I know very basic mechanic, but I just joined 3geez, I need some technical help and advice.
It could be possible that some good nature fellow would help me get another carburetor?, I feel terrible at this moment because my poor English doesn’t help me to explain the real problem, indeed I could have problems explaining it in Spanish since most terms are strange for me, but the final fact is that I need to check my fuel system and need another Carb, maybe replace some other parts, buy basic accessories, some kits, I don’t know. I don’t have an international credit card to buy some used parts from the Web, I won’t do that, I need advice first. I know this is quite a common problem and I apologize if some ( hundred ) times this question has been asked, but the fact is I need foreign help to get some parts, I would send the money via western union, I’m willing to spend as neccesary to fix it up, just need a helping hand.
Some fellow said someplace:
"whenever i had crazy problems with my stock carb I'd go to the u-pull and get another one for ~$50 If all the emmissions tubes are still intact the car should start right up with a new (used) carburetor, best to get one from a car that is crashed and hasn't been sitting with the hood open and a puddle of water in it"
I want this kind of help.
