I need a 75-942. Does anyone know of a source for metering rods? I would replace both rods with a 75-987 which is the one size lean (high altitude here) if i could find any.

Let me look through my stuff and see if I have any of the 75-987's or just one of the 75-942's. I won't know until Monday, as I've got a pretty full day planned for tomorrow.

PS - sorry, looked but can't help on the metering rods. You might try Daytona Parts or Larry Isro if you can't find them elsewhere, and Hershey is just around the corner. Posted on: 2009/9/26 22:32

Mine was converted to hand choke at some point and all of that stuff was removed. I'd really like to set it back to right. Thanks Posted on: 2009/9/29 13:30

Think the carb number is 728. I have a spare I want to rebuild and keep in the car. It looks like the spring is about half as long as it should be comparing it to the one in the carb on the car now. Also need a needle and seat if you have one. Thanks, Bob Posted on: 2009/9/30 23:22

You have to call them and ask as the rods are not shown in their catalog. They even have the one size lean rods for higher altitude. $20 each. Posted on: 2009/10/2 20:49
