Thirsty engine Lousy carb

He is in Iran, you won't be sending him anything from the US without violating the embargo.

I agree that it sounds like the fuel pump "repair" is the source of your problem and that the 2 barrel carb you have looks suspicious. Correcting PCV hose routing might help some, but I think you are going to be really limited with parts availability.

I "think" we can send him stuff from Australia except for weapons, unless he is on a restricted entity list:

From your numbers this came up,

R-2134-1A

2300-G

Reo, OH-186/200 Eng.

2690-H2-1

And this from a Reo bus and Truck Carby repair list,

1960 OH-186 Holley 2300-G 2134 1 2690-H2-1

It would appear to be a carb of a 1960 and up Reo truck or bus...

Hi there gpierce, off the topic and regarding where I live, I do originally live and work in northern California. However in the last year I have had to stay in Shiraz to take care of some of my parents' affairs. The plan was to stay for a month but now it's more than a year that i have been here.

Shiraz is an awesome wine. But in case you were wondering search "shirazi wine" in Wikipedia. You might find it interesting..

Regarding shipping items to Iran from Australia or from anywhere else for that matter, Honestly I do not trust Iran's postal services and if for any reason it does not make it here they can't be held responsible!!

Thanx pegasus. Based on the info you found about the carb I tried searching more to get some detailed specs but couldn't find any so far. So I still can't figure out based upon the info, the carb is fit for the engine or not. With my limited knowledge I am assuming that the carb belongs to a Reo with a 186 or 200 cubic inch engine size???? OH=over head?!?!

Sorry, typical american thinking on my part. I'll try and be more worldly
