Title: Rochester identification headache.(now with pics)
Post by: overthepond on June 06, 2008, 05:02:24 pm

Time to ask the people in the know i hope.. ;D
I have a nice clean unmolested rochester carb sitting on the shelf in my hut that came with my k5's engine and i'm having nothing but trouble finding a rebuild kit for it.
I have the only numbers that i can find on the carb on a round disc which is pressed into an indent in the side of the bowl directly behind the primary throttle arm.

As it reads on the disc...7026261k5

Could anyone point me in the right direction for a rebuild kit for the above number.

Thanks... ;)

clean the carburetor off better and look along the side of the main body housing. I think you have the wrong #

your pics don't really show anything that could help you. If you want to take pics of each side of the carb that would help.

Thats the one,i'll place my order now and get it rebuilt and back on the engine,after all it ran fantastic with it on even though it had a leak....miles better than the holley 600 that is now going in the trash.

Many thanks frogman68 and vile... ;)
