Carter WCFB

[Dale S.]

Can some one give me a source for the vacuum secondary diaphragm on a carter WCFB? The carb # is 2361S. I hope this is enough information. Thank you Dale

Dale,
Wouldn't that come with a rebuild kit? Most suppliers have them, maybe Napa too.

Re: Carter WCFB

Rich, My friend says they do not. He says that he has found the kit for the 2361s but no secondary diaphram is included. I am not familiar with the WCFB's Dale

Re: Carter WCFB

So I just checked my Carter WCFB repair book and see it in the exploded view. My 2x4 carbs use mechanical secondary actuation, so the one you're asking about uses the spring loaded diaphram.

I poked around and found this: http://www.daytonaparts.com
Maybe they can help.

If you can't find it you may have to find some similar material and make it up yourself using the original rod & spring somehow. I found this post on a forum and he never got a reply so it looks like a difficult to find item.

Subject: Carter WCFB Secondary Diaphragm Source?

Location: Nebo, Western NC I restore carburetors for a living and I need a good, reasonably-priced source for new Carter WCFB secondary diaphragms used on some '56 - '57 Chrysler products. I used to get them from Afla Procucts in Des Peres, MO but their supplier quit making them. I am at a loss because I want my carbs to be perfect and we seem to be getting more of these in the shop for restoration lately. Has anyone found a dependable new source for these?

Re: Carter WCFB

I'm a little confused. Could you describe what you are looking for? Corvette WCFB's do not have a "vacuum secondary diaphragm".
