Does anyone know if Niehoff makes a rebuild kit for a Carter AFB carb #2653S. The carb is from a '58 DeSoto Adventurer. It is the rear carb of the two on the car. It is the main carburetor for the car. It has the choke valve. I stupidly added water to the gas tank thinking it was gasoline and the water I think ruined the accelerator pump. The car of course would not start. I took apart the carb, cleaned out the water, put it all back and now the car only runs on a high idle. The carb was pretty old to begin with, so I think the water put it over the edge. Actually what is happening is that on the high idle when you look down the throat of the carb, you see lots of gas coming out of both primary venturis, but no gas squirts out of the tiny pump jet nozzles at any acceleration. Anyone have any thoughts on the problem before I try to rebuild it myself or take it the carburetor shop? Nick Nichols.
