1976 Heald Super Bronc VT-8 (Carbuerator ?)

[alwayswondering]

I have a 1976 Heald Super Bronc VT-8 complete without a carbuerator. I have been looking for a carb that would work on this bike but to no avail. Can anyone help?
The engine is a HM80-155057C Serial# 60370
I understand the carbuerator had a diaphragm pump. Where can you get these?

Yes, welcome to OldMiniBikes.:thumbsup:

I believe I have the diaphragm fuel pump off from a VT8. But I don't have the carb....:shrug:

When you're able take a couple pictures of the engine and post them.

Yes sir, I'm looking for the complete carb w/diaphragm. Can anyone give me the make of the carb and p/n that was on these VT-8's?

here is the correct tecumseh part number for the carb. you will need to look for #631660A sounds like JEEP has the fuel pump for you.Iowa Motor Parts has the carb you need original tecumseh carb $100

Chatten63,

I ordered the carb and received two days ago. Would you happen to know what the low end adj. screw should be and the high end adj. screw be?

 

[chatten63]

You will have to start with the factory settings and adjust from there,your altitude will be the tuning factor.I am at like 900 ft above and the factory settings are very close to factory specs 1 3/4 turn and about 3/4 turn, every motor is different for tuning in.

 

[alwayswondering]

Would the 1 3/4 be the idle/low end adjustment and the 3/4 be the high end adj.? I will start there. I am at 5,000 feet above sea level.

start with the idle screw (screw on side of carb ) at 1 turn out and the main (bottom screw) 1 1/2 turn. try and go by the heat generated on exhaust and the smell of exhaust,also watch the exhaust when you give it gas if it puffs black it loading up (rich)
