Carburetor rebuilds & ethenol

[hoss73ford]

Do most reputable carburetor rebuilders use anti-ethanol kits? I figure its best to stay away from old NOS kits due to the ethanol issue. I live in an area that doesn't have emission testing but they put ethanol in the gas. My '73 F-100 which the last owner had rebuilt, leaks gas from the accelerator pump no matter how much I tighten it plus it has a high idle some of the time.

The only place I know of that sells carb rebuild kits with gaskets for use with ethanol gas is DAYTONA PARTS

If its an Autolite 2v they have been leaking there long before ethanol came out.

Overtightening the screws often leads to a warped accelerator pump cover. Same with the power valve cap.

Quick Fuel brand rebuild kits with the green parts are ethenol compatible.
